I have introduced a system for PAT every 2 years. Any new equipment purshased within this frequency has a sticked placed on it showing the date of purchase, the appliance is then (PAT) tested the next time all the other appliances are done.
As an ex Electrical Supervisor and now a H&S manager, I have trained our staff on "Visual Electrical Appliance Inspections" covering pretty much the same as what has previously been mentioned. There are tell tale signs with appliances and flexes before a fault occurs, such as a nasty fishy smell, usually caused by a loose connection creating heat resulting in the insulation (plughead/socket) becoming hot. Hope this is of use.
