Reports indicate that nearly 25% of all reported electrical accidents are started by or involve portable appliances. The Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) dictates that it is therefore an important legal requirement for every employer to provide sufficient testing on their equipment in order to ensure that it safe for use in the workplace.

Portable Appliance Testing or PAT Testing is the practice of routinely testing and inspecting appliances and providing certification that they are safe for use.

The key purpose of emergency lighting is that, in the event of a fire or mains electrical failure, all emergency lighting including exit signs will remain fully functional for the duration required, enabling people to safely evacuate the premises as needed.

Testing of emergency lighting not only tests to ensure that the lighting is working correctly with no faults, but also that all lighting and exit signs comply with current  legislation.

By keeping up with a regular program of inspection and testing by a qualified engineer, businesses can feel secure in the knowledge that their emergency lighting system is safe and effective in case of emergency. Those in charge of the property or place of work should also regularly check over the lighting systems themselves in between their annual full system inspection in order to check for any signs of damage to the luminaires.
