7 Reasons Why You Should Test And Tag Sandgate This Year

Not everyone sees the importance of testing and tagging appliances in their office. This is most especially true when a piece of electrical equipment is relatively new. Unfortunately, this poses risks to everyone in the office regardless of its size. We believe that it is crucial to perform tests and tags on electrical appliances, whether old or new.

According to the Australian standard AS/NZS 3760:2022, all employers must follow the testing schedule. Offices where appliances are prone to flexing must test and tag every 12 months. After all, no one wants to be electrocuted in the office while using a simple microwave oven.

Here at The Local Guys – Test and Tag, we cater to different types of offices across Sydney. Our goal is to help you achieve an electrically safe workplace while complying with the standards. However, if you’re still missing to test and tag, here are some reasons why you should comply with the standards this year.

#1 Increased risk for electrical shock

Over time appliances can develop electrical faults. Imagine using the same microwave oven for more than five years. You will never know when they break until they stop working or worse, explode. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Appliances, including microwave ovens, can develop electrical faults over time due to wear and tear, which can potentially lead to dangerous situations like fires or explosions.

Additionally, everyone is afraid of electrical shock. It can cause muscle spasms, burns, and even death. As an employer, you have the duty of care to ensure that everyone is safe in your workplace.

#2 Faulty appliances can increase the risk of fire in the workplace

Faulty electrical appliances can increase the risk of fires. As appliances age, they are more prone to damage and develop potentially dangerous faults, such as short circuits, which may result in serious consequences like fires. Additionally, inadequate testing and tagging of electrical equipment can further heighten the vulnerability to incidents that could cause fires.

Testing and tagging office electrical equipment regularly is crucial to prevent potential fire hazards. The team at The Local Guys – Test and Tag Sandgate has extensive experience in testing and tagging all types of electrical equipment, including microwave ovens. We also prioritize providing high-quality safety measures.

Fire damage is a significant risk in the workplace when defective items are present. Electrical shorts can quickly ignite flammable materials such as wallpapers and cabinetry, resulting in fires.

Neglecting minor physical damage in your appliances can lead to further problems and impact the functionality of outlets, switches, and other components in your electrical system.

Damage can occur when faulty appliances send surges of electricity through surge protectors, overwhelming their capacity and rendering them ineffective. This leaves connected devices vulnerable.

#3 Increased difficulty in managing electrical risks in the workplace

The increased complexity of modern workplaces and homes has brought about a corresponding rise in the difficulty of managing electrical risks in the workplace. Every breakroom now has multiple appliances such as refrigerators, heaters, microwave ovens, air fryers, electric grillers, and even more. To add to the risks, there are computers, laptops, CCTVs, and other electronic devices in your office that could develop defects without you noticing them.

#4 Legal and Compliance Issues

Not testing and tagging can lead to legal and regulatory non-compliance. In Australia, employees must fulfill their duty of care to everyone in the workplace and keep compliance records. Following AS/NZS 3760:2022 as a minimum standard will highlight this obligation. Failure to meet these requirements can result in fines and legal consequences for your workplace.

#5 Increased Downtime

Unchecked faulty appliances can disrupt productivity. Equipment failures due to lack of testing can result in downtime as employees wait for repairs or replacements, leading to delays and potential financial losses.

#6 Higher Maintenance Costs

Avoiding regular testing and tagging can lead to higher long-term maintenance costs. Unattended issues can worsen over time, requiring more extensive and costly repairs or replacements when they are finally addressed.

#7 Reputation Damage

Ensuring workplace safety is an important factor in maintaining a company’s reputation. Neglecting to test and tag appliances can negatively impact the perception of a business, among both employees and clients, potentially resulting in reduced trust and credibility in the market.

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.

Portable Appliance Testing

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.

Safety Switch (RCD) Testing

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.

Fire Extinguisher Testing

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.

Emergency Exit Light Testing

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.

Fire Blanket Testing

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.
