If you're new to the concept or want to streamline your approach, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about the test and tag process and why partnering with Go Test and Tag is a smart choice.

What Is Test and Tag?

Test and tag, also called tag and test, is the process of inspecting and checking the safety of electrical appliances. This is done in two essential steps:

1. Testing
   A qualified technician uses specialized tools to test your electrical equipment for faults or potential risks, such as improper grounding, wiring issues, or damaged connections.

2. Tagging
   Once the equipment is deemed safe, a durable tag is placed on it. This tag contains critical information, including the test date, next scheduled test date, and whether the equipment passed or failed.

By combining these two steps, the test and tag process ensures your workplace complies with Australian safety standards and protects your employees and infrastructure.

Why Is Testing and Tagging Important for Workplace Safety?

Electrical equipment is used in almost every workplace, from basic office tools like printers to more complex machinery in industrial settings. Over time, wear and tear can lead to faults, putting your employees, equipment, and business operations at risk. Here’s why test and tag is so crucial:

• Prevents Accidents
  Faulty equipment can cause severe injuries resulting from electrical shocks or fire hazards. By regularly testing and tagging your devices, you eliminate potential dangers before they escalate.

• Maintains Compliance
  Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations require businesses to ensure electrical equipment is regularly inspected to remain safe. Regular test and tag services help you meet this legal obligation.

• Prolongs Equipment Lifespan
  Testing doesn’t just identify faults—it also ensures your machines are functioning correctly. This preventive maintenance can reduce costly repairs and downtime.

• Boosts Employee Confidence
  A safe workplace demonstrates your commitment to your team's well-being, improving morale and productivity.
