Testing, tagging, and inspection of electrical and fire equipment is a vital process that ensures all workplace appliances and safety devices operate safely and comply with Australian Standards AS/NZS 3760 for electrical equipment and AS 1851-2012 for fire protection.
Our trained and competent team conducts visual inspections, functional testing, and tagging or stamping of each item, then records the results electronically with test dates, next due dates, and technician details. This process helps reduce the risk of electrocution, fires, equipment failure, and emergency unpreparedness, while keeping your business compliant with WHS legislation.
Expedite Safety Test and Tag provides detailed electronic reports and can send courtesy emails and phone reminders when your equipment approaches the re-test date. By regularly testing and tagging electrical items, businesses can protect their employees and customers from potential electrical accidents and injuries.
Testing intervals are a requirement, with their lengths typically determined by the specific environment in which an electrical appliance operates. Here are the recommended frequencies:
- Building, Construction, and Demolition: Every 3 months
- Factories, Warehouses, and Production Facilities: Every 6 months
- Environments where equipment/supply cords are subject to flexing or potential abuse: Every 12 months
- Environments where equipment/supply cords are not prone to flexing or abuse: Every 5 years
