Yes, absolutely. With our system though we diarise when the next testing is required and will reach out to you so you don't need to worry about it.

Yes, we often start very early or late andon weekends to minimise disruption to your business.

Yes we test both 3-phase equipment and RCDs as part of our advanced electrical safety service. Many small tagging companies skip these because they require specialised equipment and knowledge, but they’re critical parts of a compliant electrical environment. 3-Phase Testing: We use dedicated 3-phase adaptors to test appliances and leads up to 32 A. Each phase is individually checked for earth continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity to ensure full compliance with AS/NZS 3760. RCD (Safety Switch) Testing: We perform trip-time testing portable RCDs to confirm that they disconnect the circuit quickly enough to prevent electric shock. The results are recorded and documented on your test report. This ensures your entire workplace not just the plug-in appliances meets the same high standard of electrical safety.

Worksafe Queensland mandates test and tag frequencies for electrical equipment based on factors like the environment and risk level. For example, amusement rides must be tested every 6 months or after each on-site assembly, while office equipment requires testing every 5 years if protected by a safety switch. We keep up-to-date with all regulations to ensure the right test and tag intervals:

Amusement devices and rides are tested every 6 months or after each onsite assembly.

Double insulated amusement equipment is tested every 12 months.

Construction and manufacturing tools are tested every 3-6 months.

Office equipment is tested every 5 years (or more frequently without a safety switch).

Rural equipment used under stated risk factors is tested every 12 months if no safety switch.

By adhering to government-regulated testing schedules, customers can trust we will identify electrical faults early on across various equipment and workplaces. We will make sure that your home or business will remain compliant with the latest safety standards and legal requirements. Staying compliant means you avoid safety incidents, legal problems and business disruptions down the track.
Staying compliant means you avoid safety incidents, legal problems and business disruptions down the track.

Under Queensland law (Electrical Safety Regulation 2013 + WHS laws), you must regularly inspect and test specified electrical equipment and safety switches to ensure they remain safe for use. The law requires: The person doing the testing must be competent (trained, skilled) Tests must occur at intervals appropriate to the equipment, environment, and use Failed equipment must be removed or repaired by a licensed person, and clearly marked as unsafe Records of inspections, tests and tags (or other identifiers) must be kept We follow the guidelines of the AS/NZS 3760 standard (and where relevant AS/NZS 3012) as the accepted method to carry out inspection, testing and tagging — so you can rely on those intervals and procedures as best practice. Because the law is risk-based rather than “every appliance must be tagged exactly every year,” we design a program that fits your workplace, ensures compliance, and documents everything properly.

We charge by Small Business Packs (for example, $185 for up to 15 items) rather than a simple per-tag rate because it reflects the real testing process required under the Australian Standard, not just placing stickers. Charging “per tag” often encourages a “put a sticker on it” mentality — but proper electrical safety testing involves much more than that. In many cases, a single appliance may require multiple individual tests to be compliant. For example: A computer workstation might include a PC, monitor, and power board — each must be tested. The power cord itself is tested separately from the appliance. Some Class 1 and Class 2 items require different test methods and insulation checks. So one “appliance” may actually involve three or four separate electrical tests, not just one plug-in check. By offering transparent fixed-price packs, we make sure: Every appliance is properly tested to the AS/NZS 3760 standard, not just tagged. The focus stays on safety and compliance, not cutting corners to reduce tag counts.

Yes. All testing is carried out by qualified and competent technicians who meet the requirements of AS/NZS 3760 and the Electrical Safety Regulation 2013 (Qld). GC Electrical Safety operates under a Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence, which means we are authorised and insured to perform electrical safety testing, not just tagging. Our technicians: Have completed formal test and tag competency training Are supervised under our electrical contractor licence Use calibrated professional equipment Complete continuing professional development each year to stay up to date with standards and technology This ensures every test is done safely, correctly, and in full compliance with Queensland electrical safety laws.

Most test and tag companies focus on getting through as many items as possible. We focus on doing the job properly and safely, the way the Australian Standard (AS/NZS 3760) actually requires. Here’s how we’re different: No "sticker and go" approach: We don’t just slap on tags. Many appliances require multiple tests. For example, the appliance, its detachable cord, and sometimes the power board all need to be checked separately. We follow the correct process every time. Licensed and qualified: We are an electrical contractor, not casual taggers. That means we are fully qualified, insured, and accountable. All tests are carried out using calibrated professional equipment. We test more than most: We also test 3-phase equipment, RCDs (safety switches) and microwave leakage where required. These are areas many taggers skip. Transparent pack pricing: We charge by service packs (for example, Small Business Pack – $185 for up to 15 items) instead of per tag. This ensures proper testing of every appliance and avoids the "rush through more tags" mentality. Detailed reports and reminders: You receive a full compliance report listing all items, results, and retest dates, plus friendly reminders before your next test is due. At GC Electrical Safety, our focus is on accuracy, accountability, and long-term safety, not just compliance paperwork.

At GC Electrical Safety, we focus on doing the job properly and safely, not just placing stickers. Many test and tag operators rush to tag as many items as possible, but we follow the AS/NZS 3760 standard exactly as it’s written. Here’s what makes us different: Qualified and licensed: We are a fully licensed electrical contractor, not casual taggers. All testing is carried out by trained technicians using calibrated professional equipment. Ongoing professional development: Every member of our team follows a structured professional development plan that includes yearly skills refreshers, updates on regulation changes, and training on new testing technology. This ensures our technicians stay current and continue to deliver accurate, compliant results. Thorough, not rushed: Many appliances require more than one test. For example, a monitor, power cord, and power board are all separate items that must each be tested correctly. We do not cut corners. Comprehensive testing: We test 3-phase equipment, RCDs (safety switches) and microwave leakage where required, providing complete workplace coverage that many companies overlook. Fair, transparent pricing: We charge by service packs (for example, Small Business Pack – $185 for up to 15 items). This avoids the “per-tag” race and ensures every item is tested properly without hidden extras. Professional reporting: You receive a detailed compliance report listing all items, results, and retest dates, along with reminders when your next test is due. Our priority is accuracy, integrity, and long-term safety, supported by ongoing training and genuine professional standards.

Adding a thermal imaging scan to your electrical testing helps detect problems that can’t be seen through standard test and tag procedures. While test and tag checks for insulation faults, earth continuity, and wiring safety, a thermal scan looks at heat patterns in live equipment to find early signs of failure or risk. Here’s what it adds: Finds issues before they cause downtime: Loose connections, overloaded circuits, and deteriorating components often generate excess heat long before they fail or trip a breaker. A thermal scan reveals these problems early, allowing planned maintenance instead of costly breakdowns. Prevents fire and equipment damage: Overheating circuits are a leading cause of electrical fires. Identifying hot spots helps prevent serious hazards in switchboards, power distribution panels, and machinery. Supports insurance and compliance: Many insurers and safety auditors now recommend or require thermal inspections for workplaces with high electrical loads or older infrastructure. Provides visible proof: You receive thermal images and a report showing any anomalies, making it easy to understand and prioritise corrective action. Thermal imaging is a fast, non-contact add-on that significantly improves safety, reliability, and peace of mind — especially for workplaces with critical electrical systems.
