Professional Electrical Test and Tag Services

What is Test and Tag, and Why Choose Bristag

Test and Tag is a crucial process to ensure the safety and compliance of portable electrical appliances in the workplace. It involves a visual inspection to identify damage or hazards, followed by an electrical test using specialized Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) equipment. Each appliance is then tagged with details such as the test date, tester's name, and the next inspection due date, ensuring safety and compliance.

At Bristag - Test and Tag, we offer reliable, professional, and cost-effective services, strictly adhering to the latest industry standard, AS/NZS 3760:2022. Our services ensure your business meets legal and safety obligations while protecting your team and equipment from electrical risks.

Who needs to Test and Tag?

Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (2004), all businesses are legally required to maintain a safe, hazard-free workplace, which includes an electrical maintenance program to identify and manage risks. In Queensland, the Electrical Safety Act 2002 and Work Health and Safety Act 2011 require businesses to test and tag electrical equipment to ensure safety compliance and reduce risks.

WorkSafe Queensland's Electrical Safety Office (ESO) oversees test and tag procedures. Construction businesses must follow AS/NZS 3012 for electrical safety on sites, while other industries, including manufacturing, offices, services, agriculture, and amusement parks, must comply with AS/NZS 3760 for equipment testing and inspection.

Employers and business owners must ensure electrical equipment used by employees, customers, or contractors is tested and tagged. This applies to high-risk workplaces such as construction sites, factories, offices, retail spaces, and industries like hospitality, healthcare, education, and those renting equipment. Sole traders, and event organizers must also comply.

Failure to comply can lead to fines, penalties, or legal liability. Meeting safety requirements is essential for maintaining a safe workplace.

How frequently should tests be conducted?

The frequency of Test and Tag inspections depends on the type of workplace, the environment in which the equipment is used, and the level of risk associated with its operation. According to AS/NZS 3760:2022, the intervals are as follows:

At Bristag - Test and Tag, we ensure your workplace is not only compliant with the AS/NZS 3760:2022 standard but also adheres to the specific requirements of the Electrical Safety Act 2002.
