Testing and Tagging of Electrical Appliances in the Workplace

Occupational Health and Safety Regulations demand that all electrical equipment that is used for construction work or used in a hostile in commission environment (that is where the safe operation of the electrical equipment may possibly be affected) must be tested and tagged by an authorized tester and tagger.

Office workers do not need to be concerned as the electrical appliances in offices are most often stationary and not endangered externally. Construction workers, labourers, tradesmen and workers who work in factories where electrical tools are used and where electrical equipment is used in a “hostile” environment should know that all electrical appliances should undergo testing and tagging. Some examples of electrical appliances that demand testing and tagging contain:

-         Power tools

-         Portable lighting

-         Pedestal lighting

-         Heaters

-         Extension cords

-         Notebook power cables

-         TV’s & videos
