Overview
Test & Tag in Morningside & SE Brisbane

Common questions
How often does equipment need to be tested and tagged?
Testing intervals depend on the type of work the equipment is used for. Construction and demolition sites follow AS/NZS 3012, while manufacturing, service, office, amusement and rural work is covered by the Electrical Safety Regulation, with further guidance in AS/NZS 3760. We will help you work out the right interval for your workplace and equipment.
Who is allowed to test and tag electrical equipment?
Only a person appointed as competent by their employer can test and tag electrical equipment. Competence comes from a combination of training, experience and qualifications. Our team is qualified to carry out this work, so engaging us takes that responsibility off your plate and gives you confidence the testing has been done correctly.
What workplaces need test and tag?
Test and tag applies across many workplaces — offices, construction sites, manufacturing, service businesses, hospitality and more. If your business uses portable electrical equipment, there is very likely a testing obligation attached to it. If you are unsure what applies to you, give us a call and we will talk it through.
Do you cover Morningside and surrounding suburbs?
Yes. We are based in Morningside and cover south-east Brisbane, so we can come to your premises across the inner south-east and bayside suburbs. For sites a little further out, get in touch and we will let you know — we travel where we are needed.
Will I get records I can show for compliance?
Yes. Each item we test is tagged, and you receive records of the testing so you can demonstrate the work has been done if asked. Keeping clear records is part of staying compliant, so we make sure you have what you need.
Can you schedule repeat testing so I do not have to remember?
We can. Because testing is done at intervals rather than once, it helps to have the next round booked in. Let us know your preferred arrangement and we can keep your testing on track so equipment does not slip out of date.
