Test and Tag is the process in testing portable electrical equipment/appliances. This electrical testing ensures your electrical equipment meets the AS/NZS 3760:2022 Standard and is safe for use within the workplace. Test and Tag is a four step testing process which involves visual inspection, electrical testing, tagging item tested, logging test results. Testing as required by the AS/NZS 3760:2022 Standard is required to detect for faults not found by the visual inspection process and forms a vital part of the inspection/testing process. This preventative maintenance service plays a key role in identifying electrical hazards, reducing the risk of accidents, and maintaining compliance with workplace health and safety regulations.
Where applicable the following items found in the workplace require testing:
Equipment in high-risk environments, such as construction sites, healthcare facilities, or manufacturing plants, may require more frequent testing due to increased exposure to wear, moisture, and mechanical damage.
National Workplace Safety Services adapt the latest in technology to ensure your workplace is receiving industry leading services for your test and tag requirements.
1. Preventing Electrical Accidents:
Undetected electrical faults can result in severe workplace accidents, including electrical shock, burns, or fire. For example, a damaged power cord on a commonly used appliance could put employees at significant risk. Testing ensures such faults are detected and resolved before they become hazards.
2. Reducing Downtime and Equipment Failure:
Faulty equipment can disrupt business operations, leading to unplanned downtime and costly repairs. Regular testing helps identify potential issues early, ensuring equipment remains safe and functional.
3. Legal Compliance and Risk Management:
Under the OHS Act 2011, employers have a legal duty to provide a safe workplace. Non-compliance with the AS/NZS 3760:2022 Standard can lead to regulatory penalties, fines, or liability in the event of workplace incidents. Regular Test and Tag services demonstrate a proactive commitment to workplace safety and compliance.
4. Employee Confidence and Wellbeing:
A safe working environment builds trust and confidence among employees. Knowing that electrical equipment is routinely tested and safe to use contributes to higher morale and productivity.
