Did you boil the kettle or make a coffee this morning in the office kitchen?
Was the TV on in reception yesterday?
Do you work with electrical equipment?
Do you sit at a computer all day?
Use a printer or scanner?
Did you consider the safety of those appliances?
What if one of them had a frayed or damaged cord?
Would you notice or are you just trusting that you are safe?
The scary reality is that death by electrocution is common, more common than people typically think or even consider. It’s not enough to simply trust that a piece of equipment or an appliance is in safe working order when there are professionals who can expertly verify it. The same way that professionals install smoke alarms, and regularly inspect them to ensure they are working, so should a test and tag professional check your electrical equipment.
If you are unfamiliar with the term ‘test and tag’, you are not alone. The test and tag industry is an industry that visually inspects electrical equipment and then electrically tests them with a portable appliance tester. Once these checks have been conducted, the test and tag expert will attach a tag to the appliance that shows the equipment meets the Australian test and tag standard AS/NZS 3760.
If you operate a business, this inspection is imperative and must be conducted by a professional.
