Test and tag is the inspection and electrical testing of portable equipment to AS/NZS 3760, with each item tagged pass or fail. Impulse Electrical provides test and tag for Mornington Peninsula businesses — offices, retail, hospitality, construction sites, and workshops — with a written report, recommended re-test schedule, and certificate of compliance on completion.
Keeping your workplace electrically safe isn't just good practice — it's a legal obligation under Victorian OHS legislation. Impulse Electrical provides professional test and tag services for businesses across the Mornington Peninsula, from small offices and retail shops to construction sites, hospitality venues and industrial premises.
It depends on the environment. In construction and demolition environments, every 3 months. In offices and retail, every 12 months for power leads and 5 years for double-insulated equipment. Hostile environments (workshops, kitchens) require more frequent testing. We'll advise you on the right schedule for your business.
Failed items are tagged as 'Out of Service' and removed from use. We'll advise on whether the item is repairable or should be replaced. A written report of all tested items — passed and failed — is provided with every test and tag job.
Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, employers must ensure electrical equipment is safe. While test and tag is not explicitly mandated for all environments, it is required for construction sites, and WorkSafe Victoria considers it best practice for all workplaces with portable electrical equipment.
Test and tag is the visual inspection and electrical testing of portable electrical equipment to the AS/NZS 3760 standard. Each item is tested, then tagged as pass or fail — failed items are tagged out of service and removed from use. It's how workplaces demonstrate their portable equipment is electrically safe for staff and customers.
Any portable electrical equipment used in the workplace — power leads, power boards, power tools, kitchen appliances, computers and chargers, cleaning equipment, and double-insulated devices. Testing intervals vary by item and environment: power leads in an office are tested every 12 months, while double-insulated equipment can be on a 5-year cycle.
Under Victoria's Occupational Health and Safety Act, all employers must ensure their electrical equipment is safe. Test and tag is explicitly required on construction sites, and WorkSafe Victoria considers it best practice for any workplace with portable electrical equipment — including offices, cafes, retail stores, gyms, and accommodation providers across the Peninsula.
Every job includes a written report listing all equipment tested, the results, and tag dates — covering both passed and failed items — plus a recommended re-test schedule for your environment and a certificate of compliance on completion. That gives you clear records for WorkSafe, insurers, and your own safety management.
