This straightforward process helps you comply with safety regulations and actively protect everyone in your workplace from electrical hazards.

We also provide reliable test and tag services that ensure your electrical equipment is safe and compliant. Our licensed electricians check everything thoroughly and tag each item properly. We avoid delays and leave your home clean and tidy.
What is Test and Tag, and how does the Test and Tag process work?
Test and Tag is a safety check for your electrical equipment at work. Our technicians inspect and test all portable electrical items to make sure they won’t hurt anyone or start a fire. This simple process helps you meet safety rules and keeps everyone in your workplace safe.
How the Test and Tag Process Works
When we visit your business, our skilled technicians will:
- Check all your plug-in equipment for damage
- Test each item with special testing equipment
- Put a tag on each item showing when it was tested and when the next test is due
- Give you a complete record of all tests
This process finds problems before they become dangerous. We check everything from power tools to coffee machines, computers, and extension cords.
Is Your Business Due for Test and Tag Services?
How long has it been since your last electrical safety check? The Australian Standards recommend:
- Every 3 months for construction sites (your safety depends on it!)
- Every 6 months for busy factories and warehouses
- Once a year for offices, retail shops, and schools
- After purchasing new equipment for your workplace
- Following any repairs to electrical items
Both WorkSafe Australia and SafeWork NSW strongly endorse these regular testing schedules. Not only do they help you avoid potential fines, but they also keep your insurance valid and your team protected!
Did You Know These 5 Surprising Facts About Electrical Safety?
- Test and Tag became mandatory in Australian construction sites back in 1994, saving countless lives since then!
- Would you believe that about 15% of workplace fires start from faulty electrical equipment that simple testing could prevent?
- How fast is your reaction time? A properly tested RCD (safety switch) reacts in less than 300 milliseconds—far faster than any human could move to avoid danger!
- Have you noticed the rainbow at work? Testing tags change colours each quarter, making it easy to spot overdue items at a glance.
- What’s the riskiest item in your office? Most likely, it’s extension cords and power boards—they top the list of test failures due to hidden physical damage.
