Why is electrical & fire safety important?

Electrical test and tag is a method to ensure the fitness of electrical appliances to ensure their optimum performance and efficiency. If in any case, the health of any industrial electrical appliance is not found to be par, it is tagged, so that the manforce present in an enterprise stays away from that faulty appliance.

How often you should test & tag electrical appliances and check the fitness of fire extinguishers?

 

According to Australian rules & regulations, there is a timeline for inspection of electrical appliances to ensure safety in various industries. For example, a construction or demolition industry should conduct electrical testing & tagging every 3 months. Production facilities, warehouses, et are supposed to be tested and tagged every 6 months. And, you should electrically test and tag your homes and offices every year.

Similarly, fire extinguisher services are required in case of any kind of discrepancy found in the functions of fire-extinguishing devices.

What is the process for electrical test & tag?
