What is Test and Tag?
“Test and Tag” is a two-part process designed to ensure the safety of electrical equipment in the workplace. First, the testing phase involves a thorough inspection and assessment of each electrical device to detect potential hazards like faulty wiring, exposed connections, or insulation issues. Using specialised equipment, our technicians check for electrical faults that could lead to accidents or equipment failures.
Once an item passes the inspection, it moves to the tagging phase. The equipment is tagged with a durable, colour-coded label that indicates the date of testing, results, and the next inspection due date. This tag serves as a visual confirmation that the item has been tested and meets safety standards, helping employees and business owners keep track of compliance and inspection schedules.
Regular Test and Tag services are not only a legal requirement in many industries but also a crucial part of maintaining a safe and efficient workplace by reducing the risk of electrical hazards.
How Often Does Test and Tag Need To Be Done?
The frequency of testing and tagging depends on your industry and the risk level of your workplace. For example:
- High-risk environments (such as construction sites) may require testing every 3 months.
- Industrial sites and warehouses generally need testing every 6 to 12 months.
- Office environments with low-risk equipment may only need an annual test.
Following these guidelines ensures that your business remains compliant and safe for everyone involved. At Encore Electrical, we’ll help you determine the right testing schedule based on your specific needs and ensure your workplace remains up-to-date.
