How our test and tag service in Perth works
What is Test and Tag?
Ensuring the safety of electrical equipment according to the Australian Standard is commonly referred to as testing and tagging.
Here at Fantastic Services, we have a wealth of experience in helping businesses meet compliance obligations, as required by WHS legislation. The competent people can help you comply with Australian Standard AS/NZS 3760, which outlines the testing and tagging procedures that may be required.
The complete electrical testing process involves inspecting, electrically testing (with a Portable Appliance Tester, also known as PAT tester) and then labeling and logging the results of the electrical tests. Testing and tagging to the Australian Standard AS/NZS 3760:2010 helps to ensure electrical safety in the workplace and can dramatically reduce the risks of electrocution and fires.
Electrical safety testing should be a routine part of how a Person Conducting Business or Undertaking (PBCU) handles the maintenance of all fitting and appliances in the workplace. However, it is not legally mandatory to do so.
How often should testing and tagging be done?
Testing and labeling electrical equipment and portable appliances for a company in Australia is an important task that must be done systematically, no matter which industry they belong to. Getting their appliances tested and tagged after every few months is an effective way to ensure a safe working environment for all employees at all times.
Every workplace is different and has its own test & tag requirements, therefore the Australian workplace safety standards outline the intervals at which testing and tagging of appliances must be carried out in each industry.
- Every 3 months - Demolition, construction and building industry
- Every 6 months - Production, warehouses and factories
- At least once a year - Hostile environments
