Caretakers Guide to Portable Appliance Testers – where to start?
For schools, caretakers are often on the hook for performing testing and tagging and even if you get a third-party in to test and tag, you often have to do a few items here and there that get missed.
If you’re a caretaker and not sure where to begin, starting with the EasiPAT 10 is a great option which allows for real safety instead of just compliance with the options of upgradability in the future. Its simple test button function with set test functions makes for a great beginner friendly tester.
For small numbers of testing or the odd new appliance coming in, consider using Metrotest-custom test labels which can have your school’s logo added.
Need tags a little smaller and don’t need a logo, well our preprinted tiny tags a simple effective solution for your school’s electrical safety needs. Easy to peel off and write on with several colors available.
As accessories that are essential for caretakers to have, a cloverleaf adapter for IT leads is a must-have for all the power supply’s that run laptops and tablet stations. Don’t get caught being unsure how to test the lead because you don’t have the right adapter.
For cutting old labels off safely or for cutting in general daily use, you can’t go wrong with a klever cutter, which allows for quick and safe removal of old tags ensuring you don’t have a nasty cut across your hand that needs stitches.
Wanting something that is a beginner level full-setup solution. Why not try the EasiPAT 10 Prokit, which comes in a heavy-duty case, complete with tablet and printer setup, great for small schools who want to do all their own testing. It comes with a simple free application that allows for printing basic numerical tags and asset recording features.
