The Five-Step Electrical Testing And Tagging System
Safety has always been an issue in any workplace, but, nowadays the fear of lawsuits has ensured that it is now of big importance. The employer has the duty to provide a safe working environment for their employees. Electrical testing and tagging of appliances is required and OH&S regulations recommend that they are tested in accordance with Australian Standard AS3760, ensuring that all of your electrical appliances are safe and cannot cause risks of death or injury by electrocution.
The electrical appliances that require test and tagging are portable equipment, whether they are used on a building site or in an office environment, to ensure that the risk of electrocution is minimised. Employers are then able to provide a safe workplace for their employees and no time is lost in production through injury.
Regular testing is the key to early detection, safety and reliability and if you want to be sure that all your electrical appliances are safe to use, let [e]Safe help you test and tag all your equipment.
[e]Safe even offers the five-step electrical test and tagging system to eliminate tragic electrical accidents that can happen in a workplace:
1. CHECK – all inventory equipment should undergo close visual inspection for signs of wear, damage or abnormalities that can make any of them unsafe to use.
2. TEST – after checking, deep testing is then carried out via their mobile state-of-the-art appliance test station which can immediately report any safety issues. The test station records the real-time test results including description and details of the item tested, then updates your inventory and automatically books the next testing date of your equipment.
3. TAG – Items that pass the testing stage are tagged to identify and visually confirm the safety compliance and testing cycle. The failed equipment can be immediately identified with a hazard warning tag and the management will be right away notified. [e]Safe performs tagging in conjunction with all their other safety testing services.
4. DATA TRANSFER – full description on items tested and the real-time results are downloaded to [e]Safe’s central computer data base. It can provide an updated secure electronic record of your company’s electrical assets and all the testing reports are securely stored in their dedicated database.
5. REPORT – reports of the exact tests results are provided via your choice of hard copy, CD-ROM or their secure web site. These reports contain detailed information of electrical assets such as bar code number, item location, description, test date, next test date and test results.
[e]Safe ensures that all your electrical equipment within your workplace are safe to use and totally compliant with statutory requirements.
