A PAT tester would reduce fire risk.

How? An inspection of the cables and plugs might but a PAT test?

a visual inspection is the most important part of any PAT test.

'How?'! So you're not familiar with the PAT test and the consequences of
failures.


I am well aware of the PAT test, thank you. So, you'd happly pass
something with flex where the outer sheath is broken, where the cord grip
on the plug is no longer gripping, etc.

Is there something in the water round here today? I don't remember you playing the loon before.

You check for all these things
before wasting time doing insulation tests, etc. I was doing them with a
Megger long before an intgrated PAT test machine was invented.
