Customer Testimonials – Why Melbourne Businesses Trust Us
Common Electrical Hazards in Melbourne Workplaces
Overloaded Power Boards – Excessive devices plugged into a single power board can cause overheating, leading to electrical fires.
Faulty Power Tools – Poorly maintained or damaged tools increase the risk of electrocution and workplace injuries, especially in construction and industrial sites.
Damaged Safety Switches (RCDs) – A faulty safety switch fails to cut power, leaving employees vulnerable to electric shock and compliance breaches.
Microwave Leakage – Faulty seals in office kitchens can expose employees to harmful radiation.
Regular test and tag services help identify and rectify these hazards, ensuring a safer workplace.

FAQs: Everything You Need to Know
Test and tag intervals depend on your workplace type. High-risk environments like construction sites need testing every 3 months, while offices require testing annually.
New equipment does not require immediate testing but must be visually inspected and tagged as “New to Service”.
Test and tag certificates do not expire, but regular ongoing testing is required for compliance. If your workplace is audited, up-to-date records are essential.
