Do You Need to Test and Tag the Electrical Appliances in Your Business?

 The businesses, workplaces, clubs, and associations are required to provide and maintain all necessary equipment in the workplace in accordance with Victorian Occupational Health and Safety Act (section 21) in order to prevent risks to workers and others, including the risk of electrocution. The only way to accomplish this is to have a predetermined testing regime in which the workplace arranges for and executes periodic testing and labelling of electrical test and tag equipment cables (which are outlined within AS 3760)

The Standard details every step of the safety inspection and testing process for low voltage, single-phase and poly-phase (e.g., nominal 240V and 415V), electrical equipment that is linked to the electrical supply by a flexible cord or connecting device. If the new equipment has not yet been in use, it is serviced or repaired before being put into use for the first time. Additionally, every technique for Residual Current Devices or Safety Switches is outlined in the Standard.
