\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
Bem, estou errado!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O que \u00e9 o teste PAT?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O teste PAT significa Portable Appliance Testing (teste de aparelhos port\u00e1teis). Isso se refere \u00e0 sua l\u00e2mpada UV, arquivo eletr\u00f4nico, pedil\u00favio, ilumina\u00e7\u00e3o de mesa, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No teste de seguran\u00e7a el\u00e9trica, o teste de aparelhos port\u00e1teis (PAT) \u00e9 um processo no Reino Unido, na Rep\u00fablica da Irlanda, na Austr\u00e1lia e na Nova Zel\u00e2ndia pelo qual os aparelhos el\u00e9tricos s\u00e3o verificados rotineiramente quanto \u00e0 seguran\u00e7a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isso costumava ser um requisito anual e era realizado por um testador independente e aprovado. Eu achava que isso tinha parado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tenho trabalhado muito com os Departamentos Ambientais das Autoridades Locais no Reino Unido e agora tenho uma compreens\u00e3o do que \u00e9 necess\u00e1rio.<\/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
A resposta mais segura para isso \u00e9 simplesmente fazer isso todo ano!!!<\/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":"
