When it comes to electrical appliances in a workplace setting, regular test and tag services are crucial to ensure the safety of your workers and customers. Our certified Appliance Testing and Tag Electrician and Appliance Testing Electrician services guarantee that they operate safely and efficiently in line with Australian work health and safety standards.
When dealing with electrical appliance issues, it’s vital to avoid attempting fixes on your own. Instead, always rely on a qualified electrician to ensure proper resolution. That’s where we step in to assist.
The process of testing and tagging involves assessing the safety of any portable electrical appliance. According to the AS/NZS 3760 Australian Standard, any appliance that has a flexible cable, removable plug, and is not low voltage will need to be tagged and tested.
Once the service has been completed, the appliance will be identified as safe to continue using after the electrician attaches a tag to the appliance. This tag will have the details of the test and when the next test is required so you know exactly when to arrange it.
This will depend on the industry that the appliance is used in. The following intervals are recommended for testing and tagging in specific industries:
Construction, building and demolition.
Factories, warehouses and production.
Appliances in environments of high use or overuse, such as appliances that are located outdoors and susceptible to impacts from the weather.
Appliances in environments of low-use or static use, such as in a server room.
These recommendations may vary depending on the environment the appliance is in and how much it is used. Additionally, many workplaces and companies will have their appliances tested at frequencies that correlate to their own risk management and OHS planning.
