FAQ's
Q- Do I need to have my electrical equipment tested and tagged?
It is every employer’s obligation under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 to ensure that they provide a safe place of work for their employees. This includes ensuring that the risk of electric shock from portable electrical equipment and appliances is minimised. There are hefty penalties for employers and all levels of management where inadequate safety leads to the injury or death of a worker. Electrical testing and tagging forms a part of your workplace risk management system.
Q- What is the relevant Australian Standard for test and tag?
Australian Standard AS/NZS 3760: 2010 is the relevant standard for the safety inspection and testing of electrical appliances. For the construction industry, AS/NZS 3012:2010 is the primary standard, ans should be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 3760:2010.
Q- Does the equipment need to be turned off for inspection?
Yes, it is an electrical hazard for the equipment to be live when the testing is being conducted. This is to ensure the safety of our technicians and customers. Once the assessment has been completed, the equipment can be turned back on.
Q- How often does my electrical equipment need to be tested and tagged?
This does depend on what the equipment is and where it is stored or used. We can help you determine your needs by giving us a call and having an obligation free chat.
