Frequently asked questions
Do I need to test and tag my appliances?
In Australia, employers have a legal 'duty of care' to ensure a safe working environment. This includes regularly testing and tagging portable electrical appliances to minimise risks of electric shock and fire. WorkSafe Victoria and Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3760) mandate this for many workplaces.
What does the appliance testing and tagging process involve?
Our qualified technicians perform a thorough visual inspection for damage, followed by electrical tests using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT). This checks for insulation resistance, earth continuity, and leakage. If an appliance passes, it receives a dated tag indicating its safety status and next test due date.
How often do appliances need to be tested and tagged?
The frequency depends on the type of appliance, its environment, and how often it's used. For example, construction sites require more frequent testing than an office. We follow AS/NZS 3760 guidelines and can advise on a tailored testing schedule for your business.
