Maintaining a safe, healthy and secure working environment is a must for any institution and organisation especially those which operations rely mainly on electrical appliances and equipment. Aside from the fact that businesses are mandated by the law under the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 2000, as a business owner, it is also your obligation to provide a safe workplace for your employees. This includes ensuring that the risk of electric shock from any portable electrical appliances and equipment in the work areas is reduced or minimised. Thus, regular electrical tag and testing should be part of your workplace’s risk management system.
What is Test and Tagging?
Test and tagging is a process of checking all electrical appliances and equipment in the workplace. Each appliance is inspected for any abnormalities such as damaged electrical fittings, electrically tested and labelled (tagged). From your extension cords, power tools and computers to your vacuum cleaners are inspected to ensure that they will not become electrically unsafe for you and your business. After the procedure, you will then be given a comprehensive report as part of your OH&S documentation.
How Is it Done?
Each appliance in your work areas will be disconnected and then visually inspected. Plugs, flexible cords and cod strain reliefs will then be examined for faulty insulation or detached earth wires as well as internally worn copper wires. Meanwhile, invisible flaws such as broken earth connection is determined by the use of electrical test and tagging instruments. All equipment will then be tagged or labelled bearing the information of the testing and recorded in a database. A copy of the test and tagging report will be given to you at the end of the test for record purposes.
