It
is the obligation of all employers under the Occupational
Health and Safety Act 2000 to ensure that the workplace
is safe for employees. This is includes electrical safety.
One of the most important areas of electrical safety is
the regular inspection and testing of electrical tools and
equipment to ensure that they comply with the safety requirements
set out in the relevant regulation.
Sydney
Electrical Appliance Testing specialises in testing and
tagging to Australian Standard AS/NZS3760.
We generally find that 1.5% to 2% of all appliances that
we test are not safe. Most of these faulty appliances have
the potential to cause electric shock, electrocution, or
electrical fire.
Test
and Tag, ( sometimes called Testing and Tagging, or Tag
Testing ) is a means of risk management in the workplace.
OH&S legislation has made all levels of management personally
liable for the safety of employees. When you use our test
and tag service, we provide you with an Appliance Test Log
document, which forms a part of your OH&S risk management
documentation.
Prevention of workplace accidents also helps to keep insurance
premiums down. Failure to comply with your obligations under
OH&S legislation may also mean that your insurance company
is not bound to cover a claim.
