Test and Tag Sydney

Why is Testing and Tagging important?

Testing and tagging is essential to discover faulty and malfunctioning equipment. As an employer, you have the duty of care to adhere to the workplace health and safety standards and AS/NZS3760.

Malfunctioning electrical equipment can pose a lot of risks:

• Electric shocks by direct or indirect contact can cause falls, burns, injury or death
• High fault electric current can cause arcing or explosions
• Arcing faults releases blinding light, shrapnels, intense heat and toxic gases. It can cause vision damage, severe burns, rupture eardrums, collapsed lungs
• Other injuries include muscle spasms, nausea, unconsciousness

Electrical safety risk assessment is important to mitigate these risks and protect your employees and visitors from accidental injuries.

How often do you need testing and tagging?

The frequency of testing and tagging depends on your workplace and the equipment being used. Our electricians will be able to assist you with a testing and tagging schedule depending on your workplace.

Testing and tagging is mandatory for every company in Australia and it needs to be done every few months depending on the class of work and workplace safety standards set for the industry.

Hostile environment - High-risk industries like mining and construction are required to get equipment tested and tagged every 3 months. It is because the equipment are used frequently and can get damaged at a faster rate

Non-hostile environment - the electrical equipment is kept in a clean and dry place and it is not subjected to abuse.
