Do you know your company's legal obligations for safety testing and tagging?
All workplaces in Australia must comply with WHS legislation and must be able to demonstrate their safety work systems. Therefore a routine test and tag service is an important safety procedure that every business should undertake to protect their employees and customers.
Test and tag is all about keeping you, your workforce safe and customers safe.

By ensuring your appliances are tested and tagged, you can prevent accidents from happening – which means less downtime and fewer expenses related to fixing damages or dealing with injuries.
How is a test and tag done?
Test and tag is the name given to the process of visually inspecting an electrical appliance for any damage, once this has been done the items’ insulation, earthing and polarity may be tested to ensure its electrical safety. For example, testing should be carried out on power tools, kettles, toasters, radios, computers, etc.
In Australia the construction, marine and mining and demolition industries must carry out testing and tagging on a quarterly basis, then, once tested the appliance is tagged with either a red, green, blue, or yellow tag, (RGBY system). The colour of the tag indicates the period/months the appliance was tested, and will also help to make it simpler to keep track of which item requires testing next time around.
For all other industries in Australia, these colours are not compulsory and they can use electrical “test and tag” colours of their choice.
