Course Curriculum
Every workplace relies on electrical equipment, but few people stop to consider the risks hidden behind everyday appliances. This module introduces Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) and explains its role in supporting safer working environments.
- Electrical safety is supported by legal duties and workplace responsibilities. Explore the regulations, standards, and compliance considerations that influence electrical equipment safety and inspection practices.
Before testing begins, risks must be identified and evaluated. Learn how risk assessments help organisations recognise potential hazards and determine appropriate control measures.
Identifying a hazard is only the first step. This module examines practical strategies used to reduce electrical risks and improve workplace safety through effective controls and preventative measures.
Not all electrical equipment is the same. Discover the basic electrical concepts, appliance categories, and classifications used when assessing equipment for testing and inspection.
Surprisingly, many equipment faults can be detected without using a testing device. Learn how visual inspections help identify damaged plugs, cables, casings, and other common safety concerns.
The right tools can make all the difference when assessing electrical equipment. Explore the instruments commonly used during testing and how they support accurate inspections.
Electrical safety extends beyond individual appliances. This module introduces key concepts relating to electrical installation testing and the role it plays in maintaining safe environments.
Working with electrical equipment requires careful attention to safety. Learn essential precautions, safe working practices, and measures designed to minimise risks during testing activities.
A successful inspection doesn’t end when testing is complete. Discover how accurate reporting and organised record-keeping support compliance, maintenance planning, and ongoing workplace safety.
