PAT Testing for Essex premises

An Essex business may have appliances in staff kitchens, customer areas and locked stores. Keep those locations visible in the brief and distinguish business-owned equipment from items managed by another party.

For Braintree organisations working across branches, identify where portable items will be on the agreed date. The equipment count should reflect availability as well as ownership.
