A typical day of a portable appliance testing (PAT) engineer involves:

• Packing up all the necessary tools and equipment into the van before setting off to the first job.
• Testing all appliances, such as microwaves, kettles and computers that require PAT testing.
• Using various types of test instruments designed to check whether electrical items are safe for continued use or need to be replaced or repaired.
• Informing users of the results and explaining why certain appliances may be unfit for use.
• Recording findings in a dedicated PAT test report book or onto an electronic system and providing employers with a copy.
• Filling out additional paperwork such as completion certificates and checklists.
