Why is test and tag a needed service?

Test and tag is an essential part of ensuring electrical equipment safety in the workplace. It involves systematically testing all types of portable electrical equipment, such as power tools, kettles and fridges etc, for faults or potential dangers. Testing and tagging reminds employees to use safe working procedures when using electricity at work and helps prevent fires, electric shocks and other accidents caused by faulty or poorly maintained electrical goods. It also ensures that businesses meet their legal obligations under the Occupational Health & Safety laws of each state. Regular test and tagging can help protect workers’ safety in the workplace as well as save a business time, money and hassle in the long run.

Types of Electrical Tests

With electrical testing, it is more than just testing tools and machinery. There are a wide range of electrical tests that can be performed for all sorts of different applications. Depending on the stress an electrical system goes through, even these periodically are recommended to have testing done to detect faults. These are some of the aspects of electrical testing that we do:

• Visual Inspection - The first thing to keep in mind is that with electrics, usually there is a visual sign that something is not right. We thoroughly visually inspect all areas that are prone to weakness and common faults.
• Dead Testing - Firstly, with dead testing, the entire circuit must be depleted so no electricity is in the system. Then the test can commence which targets resistance and continuity.
• Continuity Testing - If there is a fault in any cabling or wiring, this is where a continuity test comes in. If any wires are detected as being loose or having a bad connection, we implement immediate repairs.
• Portable Appliance Testing - Commonly referred to as test and tag, a tool by law must be checked on and certified periodically. This ensures there are no issues that may be cause for concern.
• RCD Testing - Residual Current Devices are circuit breakers that stop the flow of power which avoids danger. For commercial buildings, these are commonly tested and inspected every year.
• Earth Fault Loop Impedance Testing - To ensure that safety triggers are in good working order, a earth fault loop impedance test will uncover any faults.
