Test and Tag Charlestown – Signs That Your Business is Electrically Unsafe

Electricity is the primary source of power for many commercial buildings, without which no work can get done. Construction, demolition, and mining industries depend mainly on electricity to power up various tools and equipment. Even in a simple office setting, staff would use electricity to power up ovens, electric kettles, mugs, and heaters.

Nevertheless, electricity is equally hazardous. Without regular test and tag maintenance, you may never know which electrical equipment would start malfunctioning. The following are electrical warning signs that you need to be aware of to prevent mishaps from occurring in your business premises.

Broken and Exposed Wiring

Electric cords have live wires within them insulated by non-conductor. It transmits electric current safely into your workspace. Without proper test and tag, the insulation can become frayed consequently exposing the live wires. Exposed live wires on sockets are a safety risk for workers and customers coming to your business.

Planned maintenance is an essential part of ensuring the safety and functionality of electrical equipment in the workplace. By scheduling regular maintenance and inspections, businesses can identify and address potential electrical hazards before they become serious risks to the safety of workers and the building. During planned maintenance, a professional test and tag company will inspect and test electrical equipment to ensure it is safe and compliant with Australian Standards AS/NZS 3760:2022. They will identify any potential faults, damage, or wear and tear, and take appropriate action to repair or replace the equipment.

By identifying and addressing potential issues during planned maintenance, businesses can avoid costly downtime and repairs, as well as the potential risks of accidents, electric shocks, and fires caused by faulty electrical equipment.

Overloaded Outlets

Overloaded outlets can be a serious electrical warning sign that should not be ignored. When too many devices are plugged into a single outlet or power strip, it can overload the circuit and potentially cause a fire or electric shock. One of the most common signs of an overloaded outlet is frequent power outages or tripped circuit breakers. This can occur when too much electricity is being drawn from the outlet or circuit, causing it to shut down as a safety precaution.

Other warning signs of overloaded outlets may include flickering lights, buzzing sounds, and burning smells. These signs can indicate that the electrical wiring or outlet is overheating and potentially dangerous. To prevent overloaded outlets, businesses should ensure that electrical equipment is distributed evenly across multiple outlets and circuits. Power strips and extension cords should only be used as temporary solutions, and should never be overloaded with too many devices.

Hanging Extension Cables

Hanging extension cables can actually be a safety hazard in the workplace, and should be avoided whenever possible. When extension cords are hung or suspended, they can become a tripping hazard for workers, and also increase the risk of wires breaking or becoming damaged.

Damaged or frayed wires can pose a serious electrical hazard, potentially causing electric shocks or fires. When extension cords are hung or suspended, the weight of the cord and any attached devices can put strain on the wires, increasing the risk of damage or wear and tear.

To prevent the risks of hanging extension cords, businesses should ensure that all electrical cords and cables are placed safely on the ground or on appropriate cable management systems. Extension cords should also be used sparingly and only as a temporary solution, as they can pose a risk of overloading and electrical hazards if used for extended periods of time.

Our Services

Portable Appliance Testing

Portable appliance testing, ensures the safety of movable electrical devices. It involves two steps: visual inspection and electrical testing with a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT). This electronic test determines if the appliance is safe, providing a pass or fail result. It safeguards workplace individuals from electrical hazards like fires and shocks, promoting device longevity.

Safety Switch (RCD) Testing

RCD testing, also known as Residual Current Device testing, verifies the functionality of safety devices in electrical circuits. This involves testing the Residual Current Device (RCD) to ensure it effectively detects and responds to electrical faults, such as leakage currents. RCD testing helps prevent electric shocks and reduces the risk of electrical accidents.

Fire Extinguisher Testing

Fire extinguisher testing ensures the effectiveness of this vital firefighting tool. Merely having a fire extinguisher is insufficient; it must be in proper working condition. A malfunctioning extinguisher during an emergency can escalate a manageable fire into a dangerous situation. Conducted by professionals, testing includes visual inspections and integrity tests, documented in detailed reports.

Emergency Exit Light Testing

Emergency exit light testing verifies the functionality of crucial evacuation lighting systems. These lights guide occupants to safety during emergencies, such as fires or power outages. It ensures that exit routes remain clearly illuminated, facilitating safe evacuation. Testing involves inspecting and testing emergency lights to confirm they illuminate adequately and remain operational. Compliance with relevant safety standards, such as AS/NZS 2293.2:2019, is essential to ensure the effectiveness of emergency exit light systems.

Fire Blanket Testing

Fire blanket testing ensures the reliability of critical safety devices designed to extinguish small fires or smother flames on a person's clothing. Proper testing confirms that fire blankets deploy effectively and can withstand the heat of a fire without damage, ensuring their readiness in case of emergency. Conducted by trained professionals, testing typically involves visual inspections and integrity assessments, adhering to relevant safety standards to uphold effectiveness and compliance.

Microwave Leakage Testing

Microwave leakage testing ensures the safety of microwave ovens by detecting and measuring any radiation leaks. This crucial safety measure helps prevent potential harm to users and ensures compliance with safety regulations. Conducted using specialised equipment, testing involves assessing microwave emissions to verify they are within safe limits. Regular testing by professionals helps mitigate risks associated with microwave radiation exposure, promoting a safer environment for users.
