Robert Kitchener, MD of Blackburn
based PAT testing firm Kitchener
2000 is warning of the hidden
dangers that could be lurking in the
classroom, as the firm is finding
numerous faulty products are hitting
the market and being used by
unregulated testers providing a
substandard service.
"The two major risks are
electrocution and fire. With 1 in 5
commercial fires being caused by
faulty electrical equipment this is an
area of serious concern, particularly
in schools and nurseries where
children are vulnerable and
potentially exposed to a serious and
life-threatening situation," says
Kitchener.
