School PAT Testing
Keeping students, staff and visitors safe with certified school PAT testing
Specialist PAT testing for schools, colleges, and educational establishments. Covering IT suites, science labs, kitchens, and all classroom equipment.
About Our School PAT Testing Service
Schools and educational establishments have a particular duty of care towards students and staff. The Health & Safety at Work Act and Electricity at Work Regulations apply equally to educational settings, and Ofsted inspections consider electrical safety as part of premises management assessments.
MES PAT Testing Ltd provides specialist school PAT testing services that cover everything from computer suites and interactive whiteboards to kitchen equipment, science lab apparatus, and sports hall equipment. We schedule visits during school holidays, INSET days, or early mornings to avoid disruption to lessons.
