Electrical Equipment Tagging and Testing in Melbourne

    Home Electrical Equipment Tagging and Testing in Melbourne

    Why Is It Important to Tag and Test Equipment?

    The Occupational Health and Safety Acts states clearly that it is the employer’s duty to uphold the safety of their employees in the workplace. Part of this responsibility is to ensure all electrical equipment and features are tagged appropriately and tested as regularly as possible. That’s because faulty electrical work can be a huge risk in the office; wires, cables and malfunctioning devices can cause electric fires, trips, falls and other injuries.

    Are your equipment tagged and tested? Do you have plans on scheduling a testing and tagging procedure? If you do, don’t hesitate to call EDC Solutions, Melbourne’s leading provider of comprehensive tagging and testing service. Our team puts safety and efficiency in mind, giving our clients an assurance of quality service.

    “The OH&S states that all companies, sole traders and other business owners running a workforce in an office environment need to undergo periodic testing and tagging procedures on all their electrical equipment. Using the modern Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), this process will be more efficient, faster and accurate.”

    Frequency of Testing and Tagging

    Frequency of tagging and testing depends on multiple factors, especially the building requirements, size of the office, the exposure of the equipment to the employees and the level of risk it exposes users to. Besides, all workplaces need to have a “risk management plan” so that it would be easier to determine the type of inspection and testing required for the equipment.

    Considering these factors, experts advise equipment owners to stick to the inspection schedule below – this is the basic routine so it’s best to consult an Equipment Testing and Tagging Expert for the details:

    12 Months

    electrical tools
    appliances
    power cords
    extension leads
    workplace equipment
    home electrical equipment

    Six Months

    factory machinery and equipment

    Three Months

    construction machinery and equipment
    building sector machinery and equipment

    To get accurate results, inspections need to be done periodically in an place where the electrical equipment is normally used, especially during adverse conditions such as getting it exposed to excessive temperature, mechanical damage, corrosive chemicals and moisture. The risk assessment should be based on the most recent and accurate results and the frequency of the procedure.

    Handling Damaged Goods in the Workplace

    Damaged electrical equipment needed to be tagged Out of Order, Damaged, or Out of Use to ensure this won’t pose risks to the users. Consequently, employers, building personnel or the person in charge of the workplace must contact a competent and reliable person who can inspect the equipment. After the procedure, you’ll be able to decide whether to repair, upgrade or replace the equipment. For basic electrical work, you should contact an expert, licensed electrician to replace or fix the wirings and cables. Another testing procedure must be carried out after the repair or replacement to ensure full functionality and installation efficiency.

    Testing and Tagging Procedure for Rental Equipment

    Equipment for hire also need to undergo the necessary testing and tagging routines every 12 months. It is the hirers’ responsibility to provide quality, fully functional equipment to renters.
