Under the OH&S Regulations 2001 and AS3760 it is
a requirement to carry out regular testing and tagging
of ALL electrical equipment at any type of workplace.
To ensure the above guidelines are being met, anything
that has a plug on it or can be connected to the Electricity
Supply must be tested and tagged, this includes items
such as computers, TVs, VCRs, microwave ovens, drills,
extension cords and power boards etc...
Electrical faults in equipment are one of the greatest
causes of electrical fires in the workplace, and can
have a major impact to loss of equipment and productivity
within your company. Employers have a "duty of
care" to ensure appropriate testing and tagging
is undertaken in the work place.
