Test and Tag Bendigo

Yes, it is, especially in workplaces. At workplaces, you must make sure that the workplace is safe for both your employees and visitors. The risk of electrical injuries must be and remain zero. This means that any electrical problems, damages, or hazards must be inspected, repaired, or replaced.

The test and tag services include:

1. Regular Inspection.
2. Replacement and/or Repair to any damages.
3. Testing and tagging electrical appliances again at the recommended date.

Testing depends mainly on how the electrical appliance is utilized and its working environment. Most homeowners and workplaces in Bendigo follow test and tag schedules to make sure that their places are always safe and to decrease the risk of accidents.

At The Local Guys – Test and Tag Bendigo, we recommend testing and tagging according to these intervals.

• 3 to 5 Years: This is recommended if the electrical appliances are not heavily used and cords and wires are not likely to be damaged and not prone to flexing regularly.
• 12 Months: Offices and homes where electrical appliances are used often, and cords and wires are usually flexed.
• 6 Months: Any industrial and/or commercial workplaces such as factories.
• 3 Months: Heavy construction and building sites.

No, it is not necessary to test and tag your newly purchased electrical appliances. The safety here is the responsibility of the supplier.

In addition, if you have new electrical appliances at your workplace, it should be tagged using a “New to Service” tag, which means that the appliance will be tested in the future at a certain date, but not now.

Mobile phone chargers do not need to be tested and tagged regularly. However, it would be better if you included them in the test and tag service. Therefore Test and tag services are about minimizing and managing risks. Mobile phone chargers, especially cheap, non-OEM chargers, can be the cause of fires and electrical shocks.

Yes, it is. All electrical equipment on construction and building sites must be tested and tagged every 3 months. Without tagging equipment, the construction building may be locked down.

Stay safe and let The Local Guys Test and Tag professionals service your appliances.

When an appliance fails a test, the item must be withdrawn and never used until it is repaired and checked again. So If it is not functioning of failed the second test, it must be replaced.

The test and tag process depends on the appliance tested. Each item usually takes a few minutes. According to the number of appliances and the type of wiring, the process may take several hours.
