What Is Testing & Tagging
Testing and Tagging is a necessary procedure for the electrical safety checking of appliances which minimise the risk of electrical hazards.
Each piece of equipment is inspected, tested and tagged according to the Australian standard (AS/NZS 3760:2010). A record of tests is kept as part of your overall OH&S risk management documentation and assists forecast budgets.
Why Test & Tag
It is mandatory of all employers and self-employed to ensure electrical equipment is safely maintained as part of fulfilling their obligation under the Electrical safety act No AS/NZS 3760:2010. No work place in Australia is exempted from electrical safety. Testing and Tagging of all electrical items has proven to be the most efficient and cost effective method to demonstrate electrical safety compliance.
