What Is Test & Tagging?
Test and tagging involves inspecting and testing electrical equipment and appliances to make sure they are in safe working order. To ensure OH&S standards are met, portable electrical appliances must be inspected, tested, and tagged periodically.
By having your appliances tested by a certified electrician, you’ll not only adhere to relevant workplace health and safety requirements but reduce the risk of electrical faults that may cause accidents or injury.
What Kind of Equipment Requires Test & Tagging?
When it comes to testing electrical equipment, appliances are generally categorised into two classes.
Class I includes earthed appliances such as kettles and toasters as well as electrical machinery like drill presses, bench grinders etc.
Class II equipment are what’s known as ‘double insulated’ appliances such as appliances with extension cords.
What Kinds of Tests Do You Perform?
At O’Brien Electrical Dubbo, we perform comprehensive electrical safety tests to ensure that all your equipment is safe and functioning properly. This includes:
- Visually inspecting appliances
- Earth continuity tests
- Insulation & leakage tests
- RCD, safety switches, and lead testing
What Are The Benefits Of Testing & Tagging?
There are numerous benefits to undergoing regular testing of your electrical equipment. For businesses of all shapes and sizes, from retail stores to industrial workshops, ensuring your appliances are certified safe to use have the following benefits.
Safe Working Environment
Our testing process determines not only what appliances are deemed to be safe but also those at risk of malfunction of fault in the near future. We’ll recommend any necessary immediate repairs, as well as provide a clear record for your employees about which tools are safe to use.
