All electrical equipment in the workplace, whether in the office or factory, construction or maintenance use, is subject to constant use often resulting in damage and wear. Conducting regular inspection of your electrical appliances, tools and equipment is essential in ensuring a safe working environment.
Australian standards and regulatory authorities require electrical test and tagging to be conducted before first use and as per the recommendations in AS3760-2010 In-Service Safety Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment. Outsource Safety provides an electrical test and tag service to all our clients ranging from small businesses to leading multi-site organisations across Australia.
