5 Signs It’s Time to Book Test and Tag Services

Not sure if it’s time to test your electrical equipment? Staying up to date with test and tag services is crucial for both safety and compliance. Whether you’re running a warehouse, café, office, or trade vehicle, regular inspections protect your people, tools, and business.

Here are 5 warning signs you shouldn’t ignore.


1. Frayed or Damaged Power Cords

If an appliance has visible wear or exposed wires, it’s no longer safe to use. Test and tag technicians will catch this early and tag it out of service before it becomes a hazard.


2. Equipment Cuts Out or Has Power Issues

If tools or appliances randomly cut out, spark, or show inconsistent power, it may be a sign of deeper electrical issues. While test and tag services won’t fix these faults, regular testing helps you identify unsafe equipment early and decide if further electrical inspection is needed.


3. Overheating or Strange Noises

Hot plugs, humming, or buzzing equipment are red flags. These devices could pose a fire or electric shock risk if not tested properly.


4. No Record of Previous Testing

If your equipment doesn’t have a current tag showing the last inspection date, you may be non-compliant. It’s also difficult to prove to SafeWork that you’ve taken steps to manage risks.


5. You’ve Moved Locations or Bought New Gear

Every time you move or add appliances, you should test and tag them to ensure they’re safe in their new environment.
