Where I work we were paying £7.25 per item to be tested and repaired if needed. This was in place before I started working here. I explained to my boss that if I go on a PAT course I can reduce the costs of this and I can carry out any repairs needed with my electrical background.
We have had a company on site recently who can offer me the testing for £1 an item. Is this too cheap? do you think I will get a decent service for this money? Are the testers going to be more interested in getting as many items as possible done so they can make some money? In other words become sticker jockeys.
I have seen me on this site struggle to get 5 items done in an hour on the shop floor due to access issues, equipment having to go through shut down cycles etc. They say this will be fine.
I suppose I can always give them a trial of maybe 1 area to see how it goes.
