Why Test & Tag Electrical Appliances?

• Electricity is an essential source of energy used in just about everything we do in our workplaces but also potentially the most dangerous.

• We cannot hear, see or smell electricity but if we come in contact with mains supply electricity the outcomes can range from a minor shock through to electrocution and death.

• Electrical safety is an essential component in providing a safe working environment.

• Regular testing and tagging in accordance with the Australian Standards Code 3760:2010 is recognised by authorities and regulators as a best practice approach for contributing to electrical safety in the workplace.

• Regular testing and tagging of electrical appliances is appreciated by staff and workers and helps build a cooperative approach to workplace safety.

• Injuries and/or death resulting from an unsafe workplace can result in fines and/or loss of workers compensation insurance cover leaving the employer fully liable for all cost outcomes.

• Testing and tagging is a cost effective tool in providing electrical workplace safety.
