What is testing and tagging?
Testing and Tagging electrical appliances is a procedure that should be done annually to ensure the safety of electrical appliances and equipment. Electrical appliances are tested by one of our qualified testers to ensure the safety of your equipment
Why is testing and tagging necessary?
It is now legislated that employers ensure that certain electrical equipment is inspected regularly and properly tested and tagged as safe. Common Law and the Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Act now require any person or employer that is providing electrical appliances and equipment ensure that the appliances and equipment provided is safe. Sherlock Safety recommends that all businesses and companies employers should adhere to AS/NZS 3760 as part of their OH&S policies.
