Electrical test and tag assessments encompass various inspections and measurements. The process verifies that electrical systems are operating correctly to ensure employers adhere to industry regulations and standards. Specific governmental standards must be met during the different types of electrical testing. Recommended testing frequencies vary throughout the life of the equipment.

It’s advisable to perform regular electrical equipment testing before using it. Different equipment classes require varying inspection intervals. For factory and workshop settings, frequent inspections are recommended, while residential areas need less frequent testing. A thoroughly tested electrical system can safeguard the environment and employees. Many electrical devices can be affected by heat, moisture, and dust, and outdated or defective electrical connections can cause unexpected damage. Adequate electrical testing can provide protection against unforeseen device damage.

What is microwave Oven radiation?

Microwave ovens use radiation energy to vibrate water molecules in food, heating it up quickly. Faulty microwaves can emit harmful radiation leakage. Proper maintenance and care of microwaves are crucial, as it could endanger and even save lives. Jim’s Test & Tag conducts microwave tests to assess radiation leakage and power output efficiency, which is particularly important in retail food industries.

How to detect Microwave Radiation?

Worn-out door seals in microwaves commonly cause harmful radiation leakage, posing severe health risks. It’s vital to conduct a professional assessment of microwave radiation by contacting OneCall Services Test & Tag if you suspect a problem. We sticker faulty microwaves, advise disposal, and test new appliances for effectiveness. People with pacemakers should avoid faulty microwaves and seek immediate medical assistance if they experience dizziness or discomfort. Properly testing and assessing microwave radiation with leak detectors help building and facility managers comply with AS/NZS 60335.2.25 standards and prevent safety compromises. Any microwave damage, mishandling, or misuse must be reported to the responsible person to prevent hazardous consequences

RCD Testing, also known as Safety Switch Testing, ensures the proper functioning of the residual current device, also called a safety switch. These devices have a crucial role in preventing severe electrical shocks and are essential life-saving devices. They detect and cut the power in an electrical socket, preventing dangerous electric currents and fatal electric shocks. Though usually located on a switchboard, they can also be portable and should be tested regularly to guarantee they are functioning correctly. Every home and workplace should schedule RCD Testing to ensure the safety of everyone using electrical appliances.

What is the purpose of RCD testing?

Electrocution is a potentially deadly experience caused by faulty electrical equipment. While electricity has become integral to modern life, safety measures such as RCD Testing have been developed to prevent accidents. Ensuring an RCD’s proper function and timely tripping is crucial, as RCDs detect and cut power to prevent dangerous electric currents and shocks. Different types of RCDs are available, so it is crucial to determine which type best suits one’s needs. Contact OneCall Test & Tag for reliable RCD Testing by calling +61478588652

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing) is a crucial aspect of maintaining safety in various settings, such as businesses, homes, schools, and workshops. Poorly maintained or inappropriately used equipment can result in injuries and dangerous work environments, affecting both workers and those nearby. Engaging an expert technician in keeping portable appliances safe is the best solution. PAT Testing should be carried out regularly to identify potential problems before they become critical and ensure everyone’s safety. Visit the AS/NZS 3760 Regulation website for more information. OneCall Test and Tag offers free quotes for PAT Testing.

Testing your fire extinguishers is crucial to ensure they are functional when needed. Fire extinguishers are the fastest and easiest way to protect your business and yourself in case of a fire. Studies reveal that portable fire extinguishers extinguish over 90% of fires and save countless lives, thanks to consistent testing and maintenance.

How often should you test your Fire Extinguisher?

Fire extinguishers should be inspected every six months, refilled, and pressure tested regularly. Additional servicing may be required at 12 months, 3 years, and 5 years, with tests recorded on a label or metal tag attached to the extinguisher. Engaging a reputable and experienced technician is crucial to ensure compliance with regulations and safe working environments. OneCall Services offers fire extinguisher testing and record-keeping services, with technicians providing information on maintaining the extinguisher in between inspections. It is advisable to establish an agreement with one company for regular fire extinguisher servicing to ensure uniform service. For further guidance on inspection frequency and fire extinguisher testing requirements, contact OneCall Test and Tag.

As per Safe Work Australia, workplaces must provide first aid equipment, make it easily accessible to their employees, and provide appropriate facilities for administering first aid. Shockingly, 87% of Australian businesses are not prepared for first aid incidents. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in individual penalties of $6,000 or body corporate penalties of $30,000. It is crucial to train employees to administer first aid or have access to trained individuals. Risk assessment procedures should be implemented to reduce the need for first aid kits in the workplace. For more guidance on the WHS Act, refer to the consolidated version of the Model Work Health and Safety Regulations from Safe Work Australia.

What is Earth Safety Testing?

Earth Safety Test or Earth Fault Loop Impedance Test is crucial for ensuring electrical installations and power points are functioning correctly to avoid electric shocks or injuries. The test should be performed by a qualified electrical tester, especially because coming into contact with active electrical installations due to a fault condition can lead to serious injuries or even death. When an electrical fault occurs, stray current safely travels down grounding wires and into the earth. The resistance in the grounding wire should be low enough for fault current to pass through. If not, circuit breakers may not detect the fault current leading to heated circuits and possible electrical fires. Every business and workplace should perform Earth Fault Loop Impedance Testing.

Why is the Earth Fault Loop Impendence Test important?

Undetected electrical faults pose a potential threat and can be fatal. Business owners must assume legal responsibility for employee safety, which necessitates creating a safe working environment. Impedance testing can prevent electrical wiring damage, expensive repair bills, and employee injuries. It is essential, especially if the electrical system is newly installed, to conduct an Earth Fault Loop Impedance Test before beginning work on a new site. It is crucial to ensure safe circuitry before commencing work in any environment.

OneCall Services specialises in checking workplace fire equipment to ensure compliance with Australian standards and maintain their safe working condition. The services cover all fire equipment necessary in the workplace, such as fire extinguishers, fire blankets, and hose reels.

Malfunctioning equipment poses enormous risk to businesses and endangers the lives of everyone on the premises. In case of a fire, faulty equipment puts customers and staff at great risk of injury or fatality. Moreover, businesses may face heavy fines or sanctions if they breach OH&S regulations. Avoid risking the lives of the people in your business and the financial penalties by allowing OneCall Services to inspect your equipment, make repair or replacement recommendations, and perform regular testing to ensure everything is in safe working condition.
