Workplaces need to be able to demonstrate that their employees have a safe working environment. Testing and tagging to the AS/NZS 3760 is recognised as best practice for managing electrical risks in the workplace.

Under the new legislation (AS/NZS 3760) all electrical appliances are inspected for damage and tested to make sure they’re safe. Once checked, using specialist equipment, by a trained and approved person, the item is then tagged with a test date, future test date and a tracking code. Items need to be checked at set intervals, from three months to five years, depending on the business environment. Many businesses are required to maintain records of their compliance with AS/NZS 3760:2010.

Ensuring your business is testing items to specification and schedule and keeping accurate and correct documentation could be the key to saving your business a lot of expense if something should go wrong. That’s why it’s so important to ask to see the competency course ID of anyone who claims they’re capable of carrying out test and tag for your business.

We are a company specialising in monitoring electrical equipment across businesses such as schools, factories, motels, hotels, construction, office spaces, and retail, throughout Dunedin. We will test and tag all your electrical equipment, record and monitor it, to meet New Zealand health and safety standards.

We carry all the specialist equipment needed to safely and accurately test your electrical appliances. Our staff are registered with the New Zealand Electrical Workers Registration Board and carry a New Zealand Practising Licence.

We can work around your business. Testing appliances (such as computers and printers or specialist machinery) can impede on the productivity of your office or workplace, we are flexible and can work after hours, so it doesn’t affect your business.

Safetag can repair minor electrical defects such as leads or plugs on site, so you can get back to using those items right away. Often equipment failure is due to damage on these key components. As a registered specialist in appliances, Olaf at Safetag, is qualified and covered by the same legislation as a qualified electrician on those repairs.

We are a locally owned and operated business, in and for Dunedin. When you call our office you will get someone located in Dunedin, with local knowledge and expertise. We offer competitive pricing and flexible call out hours.
