What is Test & Tag and why is it important?
Test and tag is the process of inspecting and electrically testing portable electrical appliances for safety faults. It is vital to prevent workplace hazards, electrical shocks, and fires while ensuring full safety compliance.
How often should electrical appliances be tested and tagged?
Testing frequencies vary depending on your working environment, ranging from every 3 months for harsh industrial sites to every 12 or 24 months for offices. We can help assess your specific workplace risk profile to determine the correct schedule.
Do you test RCDs and safety switches?
Yes, we perform complete testing on both portable and fixed safety switches (RCDs) to ensure they trip correctly within regulatory timeframes. This is a critical component of maintaining a safe and compliant commercial facility.
What testing standards do you follow?
All our testing and tagging procedures strictly adhere to the Australian Standard AS/NZS 3760. This guarantees that your business meets all legal obligations and workplace safety requirements.
Will you remind us when our next test is due?
Yes, we maintain a comprehensive asset register and tracking system for all our clients. We will proactively reach out to remind you well before your next scheduled re-test date so you never miss compliance.
