\u00a0I don\u2019t know about you, dear readers, But I thought that PAT testing for a Nail Salon was no longer required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bueno, \u00a1\u00a1me equivoco!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00bfQu\u00e9 son las pruebas PAT?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Las pruebas PAT son las siglas de Portable Appliance Testing (pruebas de aparatos port\u00e1tiles). Esto se refiere a su l\u00e1mpara UV, e-file, ba\u00f1o de pies, iluminaci\u00f3n de escritorio, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En las pruebas de seguridad el\u00e9ctrica, las pruebas de aparatos port\u00e1tiles (PAT) son un proceso que se lleva a cabo en el Reino Unido, la Rep\u00fablica de Irlanda, Australia y Nueva Zelanda mediante el cual se comprueba de forma rutinaria la seguridad de los aparatos el\u00e9ctricos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Esto sol\u00eda ser un requisito anual y se llev\u00f3 a cabo por un probador independiente y aprobado. Cre\u00eda que esto hab\u00eda dejado de hacerse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He trabajado mucho con los Departamentos de Medio Ambiente de las autoridades locales del Reino Unido y ahora comprendo lo que se necesita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not, in itself a legal requirement but current UK legislation states that businesses must maintain electrical equipment in a safe condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you were to ask the answer would be that it depends on how often the equipment is used. Well, how long is that \u2018piece of string\u2019?? Someone may use their UV lamp 3 times a week and another 8 times a day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La respuesta m\u00e1s segura es hacerlo todos los a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think about an e-file. It generates a lot of fine dust and is a mechanical tool that has moving parts. If a lot of dust accumulates in the motor it could be a fire risk!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, the answer is, just get it done every year. Look locally for approved testers. Add the cost to your overheads and proof that your employees and clients are safe if you should ever have a visit from an EHO. (Environmental Health Officer) and they are starting to focus on nail salons!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
