Test and Tagging – don’t let your tags expire

The Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (the Regulation) prescribes mandatory testing and tagging for electrical power equipment used in an environment in which the normal use of electrical equipment exposes the operating conditions that are likely to result in damage or a reduction in its expected life span. This includes conditions that involve exposure to moisture, heat, vibration, mechanical damage, corrosive chemicals or dust.

Failure to maintain electrical equipment in a safe condition, or to use equipment not in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions may result in injury or death to yourself, workers, or other parties.
