Ensure Workplace Safety with SafeTag’s Proven Methodology

Electrical testing and tagging is a vital safety procedure that protects both people and property from the risks of electrical faults. At SafeTag, we follow a thorough and compliant process that ensures your workplace remains safe, legally compliant, and free from electrical hazards. Below is our step-by-step breakdown of how we carry out electrical testing and tagging with precision and care. To Know More Click Here

Step 1: Initial Inspection of Equipment

Before any testing begins, SafeTag’s certified technicians perform a visual inspection of all appliances and cords. We look for signs of wear and tear such as:

1. Frayed or exposed wires
2. Damaged plugs or sockets
3. Loose connections or burn marks
4. Non-compliance with Australian standards

This helps identify any immediately obvious dangers and determines if the item is safe to proceed for electrical testing.

Step 2: Electrical Testing with Portable Appliance Tester (PAT)

Next, we use advanced Portable Appliance Testers (PAT) to check the internal electrical safety of each device. This includes:

1. Earth continuity testing (for Class I appliances)
2. Insulation resistance testing
3. Polarity checks
4. Leakage current testing

These tests ensure that the equipment is electrically sound and poses no risk of shock or fire. To Know More Click Here

Step 3: Tagging the Equipment

Once an appliance passes testing, it is labeled with a durable test tag. The tag includes important details such as:

1. The date of testing
2. The next due date
3. The technician’s name or ID
4. The status: PASS or FAIL

This tag serves as a quick visual reference for safety compliance and maintenance planning.

Step 4: Reporting and Documentation

SafeTag provides clients with a detailed testing report and asset register, which includes:

1. A list of all tested equipment
2. Pass/fail results for each item
3. Unique ID numbers and tag colors
4. Re-test due dates as per AS/NZS 3760 standard

This documentation is vital for audit trails, insurance, and regulatory compliance.

Step 5: Scheduling Re-testing and Reminders

Safety doesn’t stop after one test. Based on the type of environment and equipment usage, SafeTag sets up a retesting schedule:

• Every 3 months (construction and demolition sites)
• Every 6 or 12 months (factories, workshops)
• Every 5 years (low-risk offices)

We also provide automated reminders so you never miss a due date. To Know More Click Here
