What is a test and tag service?

Test and tag is the process of checking the safety of every portable electrical appliance in your home or business. It consists of two parts: first, inspecting the appliance visually for any damage; second, testing it electrically with a Portable Appliance Tester.

The importance of a test and tag service

When working around a lot of electrical equipment that is portable, there are risks that an accident could take place. Should an accident occur, employers should make sure they are legally protected.

A way to do this: testing and tagging services.

Testing and tagging services offer evidence that an employer took the necessary precautions to ensure that the workplace is as safe as possible for their employees and customers by having the electrical appliances inspected. By testing and tagging regularly, you comply with the safety standards for Australia.

What is the process of a test and tag service?

When you use test and tag services from us at O'Brien Electrical Lake Macquarie, we will send a skilled and expert technician to your workplace. This technician will carry out both a visual and electrical test to identify any problems with the electrical devices.

After the inspection has taken place, our technician will leave a test tag on any equipment they have tested. What is the purpose of this tag? It states the results of the test, who carried out the test, the date of the test, and when the equipment must be retested. A copy of this information is also given to the employer.
