Jarrad Goulding and Joanna explain test and tag, the electrical safety process that checks appliances to make sure they won't cause injuries, fires, or deaths. Businesses are required to do it to keep their workplaces safe.
"It's a process of doing an electrical safety test on an appliance to make sure it's safe."
So for those people that don't understand much about test and tag, maybe we can start there. Joanna, first of all, maybe tell us what is test and tag?
It's a process of doing an electrical safety test on an appliance to make sure it's safe. Any piece of electrical equipment that's out there has a possibility of being faulty and that fault could lead to injuries, deaths, fires, the whole lot. Testing and tagging is a way to make sure that the equipment's deemed safe. Every business needs to ensure that the environment that their employees are working in is deemed safe.
Businesses only. So people at home don't need to worry about getting tested.
Tags at the moment. Moment, no. I guess it's a bad saying, but we know where there's a blame, there's a claim type situation. I shouldn't say that.
But if you're.
At home and you electrocute yourself, you're not going to sue yourself at home. It's your responsibility to make sure you're doing it. But when you're at work, the business owner is responsible to make sure the equipment's safe here to use.
