Test and Tag CALOUNDRA

All workplaces must test and tag their appliances. For example, construction, demolition, and mining industries must have their appliances tested and tagged every 3 months. These industries are harsh on electrical appliances which usually get damaged or develop electrical faults fast.
The tagging colors used change throughout the year (Every 3 months) to ensure that the workplace is constantly testing the appliances.
Other workplaces are also obligated to test and tag their electrical appliances now and then according to the Australian Standards. Business owners and employers are responsible for the safety of their employees and workers. If an employee is injured and the appliance is not tested, it is liable.
Moreover, before an appliance is used in a workplace, it must be inspected visually by a professional testing and tagging electrician to ensure that it works properly. Once installed, the appliance must be tested and tagged regularly as well. Our Test and Tag Caloundra team will definitely explain to you your duties and everything else related to testing and tagging.

Most people think that electricians are the only persons who are qualified to test and tag electrical appliances. However, the AS/NZS 3760:2010 says that anyone who is “Competent” can test and tag electrical equipment. Anyone can be qualified to test and tag electrical appliances by taking a test and tag comprehensive course. The course will provide the person with the necessary skills and knowledge to be able to test and tag appliances, use a PAT tester and learn more about electricity and electrical items in general.
Of course, it is not a one-time course. Qualified persons need to stay certified by taking more courses and updating their certificates. Besides, they must stay updated with any changes to the Australian Standards, learn the latest skills, and acquire more general knowledge as they proceed in this career.
