Reasons to Test and Tag Appliances
Workplace Safety Quotes
from local businesses
Testing and tagging is a process of checking, testing and then tagging (labelling) electrical appliances. Why would you want to have it done?
First and foremost, testing and tagging is done to mitigate risk. We all know about risk - it's evaluated by looking at the likelihood of the 'risk' happening and the impact of the risk once it has happened. If the likelihood and impact is high, then a risk is seen as high. The impact of not testing your electrical appliances (on your staff, assets, office space and operational runnings, financial performance) can be very high. The likelihood of risk is high if you don't have testing and tagging done, and almost zero if you do.
What are the risks of not testing and tagging?
- Your company can be fined or given rectification orders from 'WorkSafe'
- Faulty appliances could cause a fire
- Your business can lose production time related to faulty appliances
- In the event of a fire or accident, your insurance company could reject claims (for workers compensation, public liability, asset insurance etc) due to non-compliance with OH&S duties.
Plus, as an added benefit, testing and tagging is a great way to let your staff know that you care about their safety which could improve morale and productivity.
Having testing and tagging done is quick, easy, and inexpensive (especially in light of how much money you can lose if you don't have it done). So, list your testing and tagging job with Service Central today and get quotes from qualified tester and taggers.
