First of all great respect to those contributors naming it "PAT" rather than PAT testing. It ranks with PIN number and TUC congress as one of irkes.
Yes, as stated, there seems to be an ethos of tests and tickets on an annual basis with the goal of getting a PASS and no thought to the actual safety aspects behind the idea. Due thought, due diligence, visual inspection then proper testing with a resonable frequency and the training of users to view and report any perceived problems at time of use or sighting.
But instead of this ideal world we live in the real world so it becomes a mostly useless paper excerise. Nice one H & S
