Welcome to Inspect Test & Tag
The AS/NZS 3760:2003 In-service safety
inspection and testing of electrical
equipment, foreword states:
"In-service
testing is necessary for the safety of
persons using the equipment and for the
proper discharge of the obligations of
employers and employees, as listed in
legislation covering occupational health
and safety matters."
Test and tag is the
procedure for the safety checking of
plug in electrical appliances, power
boards, extension leads and 30mA RCD's
etc to the Standard required by AS/NZS
3760.
Workplaces in Australia
must be able to demonstrate safe
systems of work, including electrical
safety. Portable appliances including
power tools, extension leads and RCD's
are items that are frequently used by
workers, and are open to abuse and
deteriation from hostile environmental
conditions which can cause them to
become electrically unsafe.
Test and Tag is a
strategy which minimises the risk of
electrical shock to workers. Each piece
of equipment is inspected, electrically
tested, and then tagged (labelled) at
designated regular intervals. A record
of these tests is kept as part of your
overall Occupational Health and Safety
(OH&S) risk management, and also for
producing to a Work Cover Inspector upon
request.

Safe inspectors ensure that workplaces
are complying with health and safety
laws. They are always ready to provide
help and advice, but when required, they
will enforce the law.
So,
it makes sense to ensure that your workplace
is safe.
