Electrical safety often goes unnoticed until something goes wrong a frayed cord, a faulty kettle, or an overloaded lead. The results can be serious: fire, injury, or costly downtime. That’s why Test & Tag is a legal requirement under AS/NZS 3760 and a must for every Gold Coast business.
What is Test & Tag?
It’s the process of visually inspecting and electrically testing portable appliances. Once checked, each item receives a tag showing the date, tester’s licence, and when the next test is due. At GC Electrical Safety, we go further by including:
- Microwave leakage tests
- Load safety checks with calibrated meters
- On-the-spot plug and cord repairs (where safe)
How Often is Testing Required?
The interval depends on your environment:
- High-risk (workshops, construction): every 3 months
- Moderate risk (childcare, medical, kitchens): every 6 months
- Low risk (offices, retail): every 12 months
Many businesses fall into the 12-month cycle, but gyms, schools, and cafés often require more frequent checks.
