Testing And Tagging

Testing and Tagging involves testing all forms of electrical equipment to AS/NZS 3760:2010 standard and for OH&S purposes.

 

Our job is to determine if your electrical equipment is unsafe, damaged or poses a risk to your personal safety. The team at Elecworks are highly skilled in all areas of risk prevention and minimisation – and have extensive experience in testing and tagging maintenance. 

 

Don’t underestimate the power of testing and tagging your electrical equipment

 

The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OH&S) states that employers have a strong duty of care to keep their employees safe in the workplace. These protocols are there to help reduce potential risk and danger in every situation.

 

During a routine inspection, Elecworks will ensure:

 

  • Your equipment is regularly inspected, tested and maintained as per the AS/NZS 3760:2010 standard.
  • All your electrical equipment is safe for use in the workplace.
  • If a fault is detected, a qualified technician will automatically disconnect this item from the electricity supply – and ‘tag’ it out of use. As part of our risk management strategies, our licensed electricians will initiate immediate repairs, replace or permanently remove the faulty product.

Residual Current Device (RCD) Testing

Commonly known as a safety switch device, RCD testing is designed to protect you should an imbalance occur between the active and neutral conductor.  This is commonly caused by - faulty appliances, machinery and equipment; and can have serious repercussions if disconnection to the power circuit takes too long to occur. Don’t leave it until it’s too late.
