Most businesses today use portable electrical appliances in some way so it's important they're regularly checked and inspected. PAT Testing is a series of tests and inspections that determine whether a portable appliance is safe to use and fit for purpose. This is vital to the safety of your people and your premises. Everyday wear and tear can lead to damage and the risk of fire or electrical shocks, so it's crucial all electrical equipment is checked. If you have people using portable electrical equipment on-site or at home, you're responsible for checking the appliance to ensure the safety of your employees.
When it comes to Fire Safety, many business owners' first stop is to install a fire alarm system. So far, so good. But, how can you make sure that your fire alarms are fit for purpose and able to do what you need - protect your business' premises and everyone in it? To comply with government legislation, every commercial premises is legally required to carry out Fire Alarm Maintenance at least twice a year, to ensure the system is working as it should. Regular fire alarm maintenance not only gives you confidence that your alarms offer effective fire safety, but it prevents false fire alarms - which can result in unnecessary and costly callouts by the fire brigade, too.

But did you know that asbestos was widely used in construction materials right up until 2000? And asbestos exposure can be attributed to around 5,000 deaths each year? There's potential for asbestos to be in items all around us - from cements, cladding and lagging to flooring and roofing. An Asbestos Survey can identify if it's present and if action needs to be taken.
Does your business have a purpose-built water system - something like cooling towers, air conditioning systems, hot and cold-water systems or spa pools? If you do, then the risk of legionella bacteria growth is present and require a Legionella Risk Assessment. Legionella bacteria grows in water systems where the temperature sits between 20C and 45C and the water contains nutrients for the bacteria, such as rust, scale or sludge. Exposure to legionella bacteria can lead to serious illnesses - most notable Legionnaire's disease.
