Why Electrical Test and Tag Matters

Every year in Australia, workplace incidents related to faulty electrical equipment result in injuries, fires, and insurance claims. Test and Tag helps prevent these by:

  • Identifying worn or damaged cables
  • Testing earth continuity and insulation resistance
  • Complying with AS/NZS 3760 safety standards
  • Reducing the risk of electrical shock or fire
  • Improving workplace safety culture

Regular testing and tagging isn’t just good practice – in many industries, it’s a WHS obligation.

What Is Test and Tag?

Test and Tag refers to the process of visually inspecting and electrically testing portable electrical appliances to ensure they are safe for use. This includes testing:

  • Power tools
  • Extension leads
  • Kitchen appliances
  • Office equipment
  • Trade site equipment

Our electricians check for electrical faults, insulation resistance, and leakage currents. Each item is tagged with a durable label showing the test date, next test due, and technician details.

Compliance, Insurance, and Audit Ready

Our test and tag services help protect your business and ensure you’re ready for:

  • WorkCover & SafeWork NSW compliance
  • Public liability insurance policies
  • Fire and safety audits
  • Council inspections and real estate compliance checks

Don’t risk fines, failed inspections or downtime due to neglected electrical safety—stay covered with SJE.
