Testing and Tagging Bendigo 

Martlec Electrical Contractors in Bendigo are qualified electricians in Bendigo that can perform all testing and tagging to a Worksafe compliance level.

WorkSafe Victoria advises that electrical safety testing and tagging for all plug-in equipment falls under the general obligations of Section 21(2)(a)of the Act. In some workplaces (for example all government departments) it is considered more or less mandatory that all electrical equipment be checked and "tagged" regularly.

The VTHC has been advised that WorkSafe Victoria is now "actively enforcing the standard and inspecting all types of premises to confirm introduction of minimum safety testing programs consistent with AS/NZS 3760." The standard applies to all types of electrical equipment in offices, factories and so on (ie tools, machines, heaters, computers, kettles, jugs and cooling fans).

Below is a general guide on how often to safety check, test and tag your electrical appliances to be Wroksafe compliant. 

• equipment, including tools and leads, on building sites: at least every quarter
• Safety Switches: monthly
• Factories, etc, equipment/machinery/tools on 'the floor': six monthly. 
  
• Offices (including offices in factories): every 3 to 5 years
