PAT Testing is an essential aspect of a company’s health & safety policy to ensure that staff aren’t harmed by any electrical equipment within a business premises. PAT Testing should be performed regularly to protect employees, customers and yourself, against any accidents and liability within the workplace. PAT Testing is carried out by a business in accordance with guidelines stated in the IEE Code of Practice. We are based in Maidstone and cover all of the South East. PAT testing is carried out in 3 steps.

What is CRB Checking?
This service enables organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors to make safer recruitment decisions by identifying candidates who may be unsuitable for certain work, especially that involve children or vulnerable adults. The CRB was established under Part V of the Police Act 1997 and was launched in March 2002.

​

Prior to 2002, access to police checks was mainly confined to organisations in the statutory sector for staff who had ‘substantial unsupervised access’ to children. There were many other organisations that could not access these checks and yet had staff with similar access to vulnerable groups. The CRB enables many more organisations to access these checks as part of good recruitment practice.

​

Organisations wishing to use the service can ask successful job applicants to apply for one of two types of check. The type of check required will depend upon the nature of the position. These are called Enhanced and Standard Checks, both require a fee but are free of charge to volunteers.

​

The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (ROA), (Exceptions) Order 1975 acts as the gateway for access to the CRB checking service and lists those occupations, professions & positions considered to be exempt from the ROA provisions designed to protect individuals from unnecessary disclosure of their spent conviction history. Consideration of this Order must be given before an organisation submits any CRB application request in order to determine whether a relevant exempted question is being asked. The Order allows for applications to be submitted to a Standard level.

​

To qualify for the higher level of CRB check, Enhanced, the position must also meet one of the criteria set out in The Police Act 1997 (Criminal Records) Regulations. These positions are known as “prescribed positions” and reflect the statutory requirements from other organisations. e.g The Gambling Commission has a requirement that all applications to hold an operating licence require inclusion of an Enhanced CRB check. Persons who work in Regulated Activity with Children or Vulnerable Adults work in a prescribed position.
