Frequently asked questions
What does test and tag do?
Test and tag confirms electrical equipment remains safe to use. The testing process identifies faults like damaged insulation, faulty earth connections, or electrical leakage that could cause shocks, fires, or equipment failure. The safety tag component creates a visible inspection record on each appliance, showing when testing occurred and when the next check falls due. This system helps businesses track which equipment has been inspected and which items need attention. Test and tag procedures form part of workplace safety obligations under Australian Standards, giving employers evidence they maintain electrical safety. The quarterly inspection tags and test and tag labels also help workers identify safe equipment before use, reducing the risk of electrical incidents across offices, workshops, construction sites, and industrial facilities.
When do you test and tag?
Testing frequency depends on the equipment type and environment where it operates. Construction sites and industrial environments typically require testing every three months due to harsh conditions and higher risk. Manufacturing facilities often test equipment every six months, while offices and low risk environments may test annually. Equipment that moves between sites or suffers heavy use needs more frequent inspection. Quarterly inspection tags help track these different schedules by clearly showing when the next inspection falls due. New equipment requires an initial test before first use, and any equipment that suffers damage or fails needs immediate retesting. Portable tools, extension leads, and power boards all require regular test and tag checks. The rigging inspection tags and safety tag systems make it easy to see which equipment needs testing, helping sites maintain continuous compliance throughout the year.
Where do you test and tag?
Test and tag occurs wherever portable electrical equipment operates. Construction sites require comprehensive testing due to harsh conditions, moving equipment, and high worker risk. Mining operations need regular testing across surface and underground locations where electrical hazards combine with difficult environments. Manufacturing facilities test equipment throughout production areas, workshops, and warehouses. Offices test computers, printers, kitchen appliances, and other portable devices. Schools, hospitals, retail premises, and hospitality venues all require test and tag compliance for portable electrical equipment. The testing happens on site, with technicians moving through workplaces to inspect and tag equipment where it lives. Some businesses send equipment to testing facilities, but most prefer on site service to avoid disruption. Safety tag systems and rigging inspection tags work across all these environments, providing visible proof of compliance whether equipment stays in one location or moves between multiple sites across operations.
Why test and tag electrical equipment?
Test and tag protects workers from electrical shock, burns, and fatalities caused by faulty equipment. Damaged cables, broken earth connections, and deteriorating insulation create serious hazards that testing identifies before accidents occur. Australian workplace safety laws require businesses to maintain electrical equipment in safe condition, and test and tag provides documented evidence of compliance. The safety tag labels create visible proof that equipment received proper inspection, protecting businesses during audits and investigations. Regular testing also prevents equipment damage, reduces downtime, and extends asset life by catching problems early. Insurance requirements often mandate test and tag compliance, and failure to maintain proper records can affect claims. The quarterly inspection tags and test and tag systems give supervisors instant visibility of equipment status, making it simple to ensure only safe tools reach workers. Beyond legal obligations, test and tag demonstrates genuine care for worker safety across construction, mining, industrial, and commercial operations.
How do you test and tag electrical equipment?
Testing and tagging electrical equipment involves a qualified technician inspecting portable appliances and tools for electrical safety. The process starts with a visual inspection to check for damage to cables, plugs, and casings. The technician then uses specialised testing equipment to measure earth continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity. Once the equipment passes these electrical safety checks, the technician applies a test and tag label showing the test date, next inspection due date, and tester details. This safety tag proves the equipment met Australian Standards at the time of testing. The rigging inspection tags or test and tag labels create a visible record that helps workplaces maintain compliance and protect workers from electrical hazards across construction, mining, and industrial operations.
