What is Test and Tag?

Test and Tag refers to the process of inspecting and electrically testing appliances to ensure they are safe for use. This process involves:

• A visual inspection to identify obvious damage
• Electrical testing using portable appliance testers (PAT)
• Tagging the item with a label showing the test date, next due date, and the technician's details

Test and Tag is not just a formality—it's a legal obligation under Australian WHS regulations to maintain workplace safety.

Why Test and Tag is Important in Melbourne

1. Workplace Safety Compliance

Melbourne businesses are required by law to provide a safe work environment. Regular Test and Tag services help:

• Prevent electrical hazards
• Reduce the risk of electric shocks, short circuits, or fires
• Meet WorkSafe Victoria and AS/NZS 3760 standards

2. Legal Liability Protection

Failure to test and tag can result in:

• Heavy penalties
• Legal action in the case of workplace injury or damage
  PowerQ ensures your compliance with all safety laws, helping you avoid such risks.

3. Insurance Requirements

Most business insurance policies require proof of regular Test and Tag services. In case of an accident, lack of proper records can void your coverage.

4. Protecting Your Staff and Clients

Melbourne workplaces, including offices, warehouses, and cafes, use multiple portable electrical appliances daily. Regular testing:

• Detects hidden faults
• Ensures every device is safe before it fails
