What is Testing and Tagging?
Testing and tagging is a procedure used to safety check appliances in workplaces and public areas in order to help mitigate electrical shock to employees.
It is mandatory that all workplace environments (employers and self employed) test and tag. Each year hundreds of lives are saved through regular testing and tagging of equipment.
Testing and tagging is the best way to regularly detect obvious damage, wear or other conditions that render appliances unsafe.
Victorian regulations
The australian standard that’s applicable to test and tagging is
as/nzs 3760:2010 in service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment.
It’s the minimal legal requirement. All states and territories in Australia must be compliant with AS/NZS 3760/210, resulting in similar rules. minor variations exist amongst states and territories about who is eligible to test and tag or who can perform testing in mining, demolition or construction
