What Is Testing and Tagging?

A skilled technician will inspect each appliance to check for damage to flex, connections, guards, covers, and plugs. Test and Tag guarantees workplace safety and adherence to Australian WHS and Electrical Safety requirements.

Do You Provide a Report?

Yes. After the process, a reputable test and tag business will give you a report. This report includes a list of all the tested objects, their present state, any warnings or potential issues, and—most importantly—the subsequent test date. Doing this will make you confident you comply and will pass your upcoming WorkSafe WA (DFES) inspection.

What Colour Should Tags Be?

• According to AS/NZS 3012, specific tag colours must be used each month of the year if you work on construction or demolition sites. It is known as RGBY, which stands for red, green, blue, and yellow.
• Red Tag – January, February, and December
  Green Tag – April, May, and March
  June, July, and August: Blue Tag
  September, October, and November have the yellow tag.
• Australia’s states would be affected by this (NSW used to have a separate colour coding system but has since now aligned with the other states). These colours are frequently employed in the marine sector and on mining sites.

Moreover, it may affect future insurers due to increased coverage expenses. The government may charge a penalty or fine if the accident is serious, resulting in electrical hazards.

What Is an RCD?
