New approach to PAT

Seaward’s new electrical safety tester
the Apollo 600 is equipped with
onboard risk assessment tools to assist
the user and ensure a proportionate
response to inspecting and testing
electrical equipment.

The multi-purpose PAT tester
combines electrical testing with
sophisticated safety data collection
and handling features, including an
onboard digital camera, to help those
involved in maintaining safety in the
workplace to demonstrate compliance
with the latest guidance on inspection
and testing programmes. The
combined risk assessment and
electrical safety inspection and testing
capabilities of the Apollo have been
designed to mirror the latest advice
provided by the HSE and the fourth
edition of the IET Code of Practice
which stresses the importance of
taking a structured approach to risk
assessment for the determination of
equipment inspection and testing
intervals.
