City & Guilds 2377 — In-Service Inspection & Testing of Electrical Equipment
Safe kit, on the road and on the night
Stages, lighting rigs, sound systems and the kit around them take a hammering: rigged, de-rigged and trucked between venues week after week. Regular PAT testing finds wear and faults before they cause a problem, and gives you the paperwork to prove your equipment is safe.
Whether you’re a touring act, a venue or a production company, we’ll inspect and test your portable equipment and give you clear records to back it up. Talk to us about your requirements.

Seven reasons testing pays off
Safety first
Lighting rigs, amplifiers and stage machinery carry real risk. Testing catches damaged leads, failing equipment and faults before they cause shocks or fires.
Compliance
Helps you meet your duties under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and demonstrate a safe working environment — reducing liability.
Less downtime
Events run to the minute. Spotting faults early prevents the breakdowns and last-minute swaps that derail a get-in or a show.
Protecting people
Performers, crew and audiences all interact with electrical kit. Regular testing keeps everyone who touches the rig safer.
Insurance & legal
Many insurers expect evidence of electrical safety. Test records are valuable proof if an incident is ever investigated.
Professional standard
A tested, well-maintained inventory signals you take safety seriously — and reassures the venues and clients you work with.
Built for touring
Gear that lives on the road wears faster. Our service is geared to portable, frequently-moved equipment and temporary setups.
