GC Electrical Safety provides fully compliant Test & Tag services for businesses, workshops, construction sites, schools, offices and facility managers across the Gold Coast and Brisbane. All testing is performed by a licensed electrical safety technician (REL 1506979) with a construction White Card.
Why Test & Tag?
Regular Test & Tag helps prevent electric shock, equipment damage and avoidable downtime. It also supports your Workplace Health & Safety obligations by providing clear records that equipment has been inspected and tested by a qualified person.
We focus on practical safety – not just stickers – so you know which items are safe to keep in service, which need repair and which should be removed from use.
What We Test
We test and tag:
• Class I (earthed) appliances
• Class II (double-insulated) appliances
• Power tools & hand tools
• Office equipment (PCs, monitors, printers, chargers)
• Kitchen appliances & commercial equipment
• Extension leads, power boards & portable RCDs
• 3-phase machinery, welders, pumps & plant
• Amusement & arcade machines
How We Test
Every item goes through a structured process, including:
• Detailed visual inspection for damage, heat stress and misuse
• Testing with a calibrated PAT tester
• Earth continuity and insulation resistance checks (where applicable)
• Earth leakage and polarity tests (where applicable)
• RCD trip time & trip current tests for portable RCDs and boards
All results are recorded and supplied as a clear Test & Tag report for your records, audits and insurers.
Advanced Diagnostic Test & Tag – What Makes Us Different
Most Test & Tag services stop at a simple PASS/FAIL. GC Electrical Safety goes further by using professional diagnostic tools to help identify why something is failing, not just that it failed.
Where appropriate and safe, we can also provide:
• Clamp meter current-draw testing
• Complimentary microwave leakage checks for microwave ovens
• Thermal imaging of plugs, cords, motors and power boards to identify heat stress
• Trend-based earth leakage and insulation resistance analysis
• Practical advice on whether items should be repaired, removed or replaced
Instead of walking away after a “FAIL” sticker, we aim to give you clear, usable information so you can manage risk and budget sensibly.
Safe Testing for Voltage-Sensitive & Electronic Equipment
Modern workplaces rely on sensitive electronics – computers, monitors, audio-visual gear, IT equipment, lab instruments and control systems.
With a background in electronics and control board diagnostics, we understand how voltage-sensitive equipment behaves and choose appropriate test methods to minimise stress on delicate devices while still meeting safety requirements.
If you have critical or specialised equipment, talk to us before testing so we can plan the safest approach.
3-Phase Test & Tag
We provide full Test & Tag for 3-phase equipment in workshops, factories, commercial kitchens and event environments, including:
• 10A, 20A & 32A 3-phase outlets and plugs
• Welders, compressors, pumps & machinery
• Stage & event power equipment
We carry the adaptors needed to test common 3-phase connections and can schedule after-hours work to minimise disruption to your operations.

How Often Should Items Be Tested?

• Construction & building sites: typically every 3 months
• Workshops & factories: typically every 6 months
• Offices & low-risk commercial environments: typically every 12 months
• Hostile or harsh environments: more frequently, based on risk
We can review your site and help set up a practical test schedule that suits your business and WHS obligations.

Our Client
Running a childcare centre means safety is everything. When we brought GC Electrical Safety in, I was impressed by how thorough but also down-to-earth they were. They explained what they were doing, fixed a couple of plugs on the spot, and left us with a clear report that gave me real peace of mind. It’s one less thing I have to worry about, and I’ll definitely keep using them.
Our Client
I’ve been in the trades long enough to know when someone actually takes pride in their work. GC Electrical Safety came through, checked everything properly, and didn’t just slap a tag on and leave. They sorted out a couple of small issues then and there, which saved me downtime. Straightforward & reliable I recommend them.
