Test & Tag Melbourne
Electrical Equipment Testing for Safer Workplaces
Electrical equipment can become damaged through regular use, movement, handling and exposure to workplace conditions.
Leopard Electrical provides professional Test & Tag services throughout Melbourne to help businesses identify electrical safety risks and maintain appropriate testing records.
What Is Test & Tag?
Test & Tag involves two key steps:
- Visual inspection
- Electrical testing
Inspect equipment for visible damage or defects, then electrically test it using appropriate equipment.
Equipment that passes the required testing can then be tagged with relevant information, such as the test date and applicable retest information.
Equipment that fails testing should be removed from service until the issue has been appropriately addressed.
What Equipment Can Be Tested?
Depending on the workplace and equipment, Test & Tag can apply to items such as:
- Power tools
- Extension leads
- Portable electrical equipment
- Office equipment
- Workshop equipment
- Commercial appliances
- Construction equipment
- Industrial equipment
- Portable power equipment
The equipment requiring testing depends on the workplace environment, how equipment is used and the applicable requirements.
Test & Tag for Different Work Environments
Testing requirements can vary significantly depending on where equipment is used.
We can provide Test & Tag services for environments including:
Construction Sites
Tools, extension leads and portable equipment can be exposed to frequent movement, impact and harsh conditions.
Offices
Portable electrical equipment and power leads may require testing according to the workplace environment and applicable requirements.
Warehouses & Factories
Industrial environments can expose electrical equipment to greater levels of use, movement and potential damage.
Workshops
Tools and equipment that are frequently handled or moved may require appropriate inspection and testing.
How Often Does Equipment Need to Be Tested?
No single Test & Tag interval applies to every workplace or piece of equipment.
Testing frequency depends on factors such as:
- The workplace environment
- How equipment is used
- Frequency of movement
- Exposure to damage
- Applicable regulations and standards
- Risk associated with the equipment
We can help businesses determine an appropriate testing approach based on their workplace and equipment.
What Happens When Equipment Fails?
If equipment does not pass inspection or electrical testing, it should not simply be tagged as compliant.
We can identify the issue and advise whether the equipment requires:
- Repair
- Replacement
- Further assessment
- Removal from service
This helps businesses identify potentially unsafe equipment before returning it to use.
Test & Tag Records
Maintaining appropriate records helps businesses track equipment testing and identify when equipment is due for future testing.
Depending on the service provided, records may include information such as:
- Equipment tested
- Test date
- Test result
- Equipment identification
- Retest information
