New to PAT Testing

[Moley]

Why this thing about stickers? You are not obliged to put stickers everywhere and they are easily abused.

I suppose it depends on the environment. I only do 'in house' testing of all the equipment on the guys vans. A lot of the sites we work at insist on visible stickers.

Martin, do you know that there's another MB Pat Testing local(ish) to you. They are over in Bristol. Could get confusing for people looking you or them up

I did this years ago,on a course for 6 weeks,can you believe that

That's 6 weeks you'll never get back then Mate, 6 weeks Crikey

 

[Moley]

Hmmm......6 weeks twice? So you'll not get the 12 weeks back?

@mhar . The 'stickers' that I used were a thermal barcode that identified the item for the next inspection and automatically updated my records that was then emailed to them via my software .
I do not do them any more.

LOL I get asked to do a bit of PAT Testing now and again. Charge properly for it or it's pointless doing it. I wouldn't entertain doing it without a downloadable PAT Tester though.

It is a doctors surgery, so you know the environment I'll be going to.

Yup, unlikely you'll need the bromide after all

In the right place for a few tranquillisers though.

I'm guessing that ISITEE was just one module of many on a 'bundled' course' - something like this one, where you (hopefully) come away with a portfolio of C&G qualifications?

Oh I don't know about that Mate one of the Members did the course and it took SIX WEEKS.
When I took it (didn't pay for it firm did and it was three days away from the office on full Subsistence) it was only 3 days, would you turn the chance down? no of course not, so don't judge unfairly please.

Why this thing about stickers? You are not obliged to put stickers everywhere and they are easily abused. I sometimes have to do appliances in holiday homes and I provide them with an appliance register and a detailed pass and fails schedule as per the code of practice. I print these out so that they can be displayed somewhere on the premises for those interested.

A sticker allows a user to confirm that the item he is about to use has been tested recently. Users wouldn't have access to the appliance register usually.
