HAWKESWORTH OFFERS FIXED WIRE TESTING TO CURRENT CUSTOMERS

Businesses that currently have Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) performed by Hawkesworth Ltd can now save money by taking advantage of the Yorkshire-based company’s fixed wire testing service, if commissioned at the same time as their PAT requirements.

For health and safety reasons all organisations should check and test their fixed wire installations at regular intervals to minimise the risk caused by faulty electrical equipment to people using their premises. Fire damage costs millions of pounds for the repair of buildings - and in compensation if there have been casualties or fatalities due to Health and Safety failings.

This latest move by Hawkesworth – a progression from its unrivalled experience in appliance testing – offers quality assured, fixed wire services for sectors from retail to hospitality, which can include weekend or out of hours testing, particularly beneficial for the education sector by avoiding disruption to classes.

As a single supplier for testing electrical equipment Hawkesworth, the UK’s largest independent PAT company, offers current PAT testing customers a cost-effective streamlined service which can cover multiple sites.

Darren Tonge, Sales and Marketing Director at Hawkesworth, said: “By carrying out high quality fixed wire testing we aim to identify potential dangers and to prevent any future problems, saving our customers valuable time and money.”

Defective or counterfeit portable or fixed wire electrical equipment can prove costly and disruptive, both financially and for a firm’s reputation. Regular and robust maintenance of electrical appliances should be a crucial strategy for protecting buildings, employees and visitors.

The PAT testing provided by Hawkesworth for portable electrical appliances include mobile phone chargers, kettles, microwave ovens, vacuum and floor cleaners, extension leads, heaters, air-conditioning units, televisions, laptops and even powered tools such as electric drills. Technology-based items such as photocopiers, printers, fax machines and desktop computers are also tested.

With over 20 years’ experience in PAT Testing, Hawkesworth is fully accredited to ISO9001/ISO14001 and BS OHSAS 18001 and can provide out of hours’ services at no extra cost, as well as unique ID labels backed up by full asset register and certification.

Hawkesworth is the largest independent, dedicated PAT testing company in the UK and Ireland.

The company works with some of the world’s leading brands and organisations in a wide range of sectors including automotive, manufacturing, construction, retail, hospitality and education.

Its engineers are City and Guilds (2377) qualified in Portable Appliance Testing and undergo Enhanced Disclosure checks with unplanned audits carried out on a daily basis throughout the country to ensure the very highest standards are maintained.

Hawkesworth Appliance Testing abides by the IET Code of Practice and ISO 9001/ISO14001 and BS OHSAS 18001 standards, providing bespoke quotations for specific environments for a sensible and sustainable tariff, delivering genuine value for money and ultimately reducing the stress of keeping businesses running safely.

The strategic placement of engineers is paramount in providing Hawkesworth’s clients with an affordable, reliable and efficient service.
