Test & Tag FAQ

How Often Should Electrical Appliances Be Tested And Tagged?

The frequency of testing and tagging depends on the environment and type of equipment. Generally, high-risk environments like construction sites may require testing every three months, while lower-risk environments like offices may only need it annually. Always refer to local regulations and standards for specific requirements.

What Types Of Electrical Equipment Need To Be Tested And Tagged?

All plug-in electrical appliances used in the workplace should be tested and tagged. This includes items such as power tools, extension cords, computers, kitchen appliances, and any other portable electrical devices. Fixed or hard-wired equipment generally does not require testing.

What Happens If An Appliance Fails Test And Tag?

If an appliance fails the Test and Tag inspection, it should be removed from service immediately to prevent potential hazards. The appliance may need to be repaired or replaced before it can be tested and tagged again. It is essential to follow up on any issues identified during the testing process to ensure workplace safety.

What Is The Process For Testing Electrical Appliances?

Inspecting electrical appliances involves a visual check for any obvious damage, followed by electrical testing using specialized equipment to ensure they are safe to use. This process usually ends with labelling the appliance to indicate the inspection date and results.
