ELECTRICAL SAFETY TESTING
 |
Why should you use our services? |
There are a variety of standards published which cover electrical safety, and Workcover has some guidelines of compliance.
As professionals in the Electrical Safety Testing area, we are constantly reviewing the various legislation and participating in the development process of new and revised standards relevant to this area. We know what the requirements are and undergo retraining regularly to maintain our expertise and keep up with current best practice. Our operators are trained by the people who wrote the standard, so we have a real understanding of their intent.
We use the best equipment available, which is regularly calibrated to ensure accuracy. We also use the correct test equipment for the job (e.g. full 3 phase tester for 3 phase tests, not just a combining adaptor).
Past clients include colleges/schools, offices, motels, churches, production companies and venues. Why not join them and let us help fulfill your responsibilities at a reasonabe price.
About our services:
We specialize in the entertainment production testing, being able to test mains, socapex, wieland, motor and 3phase cabling, as well as all standard equipment – distros, moving lights, static lights, dimmers, amplifiers, desks, power supplies, and all associated electronics.
-We can offer a risk assessment service at your premises and then carry out a test regime to the standards required.
- We can offer service procedure for items not passed - including fixing simple things on site.
- We can test out of business or school hours for minimal disruption.
- We offer customized tags.
- Unlike many electricians, we understand industry practice (e.g.110v series splitters) and will not just cut off non-standard connectors.
- We carry full public liability & professional indemnity insurance to cover our activities.
- Having tested your equipment and fitted tags, it is still the customer’s responsibility to maintain the equipment in serviceable condition. A tag only means the equipment was safe at the date of testing and will most likely be safe until the next test date if it is looked after.
- The cost of our service covers many overheads that contribute to our expertise (i.e. the labour, the test equipment, the tag, coming to your premises, staff training, insurances).
- We will implement a system of clearly recording the identity, location and class of all low voltage electrical equipment on the premises and determine the frequency of inspection and testing needed. The frequency of testing depends on the type of insulation used on the equipment and the area where it is used. Not all equipment requires the same frequency of testing.
- We barcode every item with a unique code so it is trackable over time. This allows both a complete list of equipment and our ability to see degradation over time. It also gives the ability for reports, and to know if an item was missed.
- Equipment identified as faulty or non-compliant needs to be withdrawn from service and referred for repair by a qualified repairer and retested, or disposed of.
- We can also test the radiation leakage level of microwave ovens in lunchrooms. It is recommended that microwave ovens be regularly tested for safe levels of exposure to microwave radiation. This testing for the level of radiation should be carried out annually and the level of radiation should be no more than 5mW/cm2 measured at a distance of 50mm when the microwave oven is operating at the highest power level.
- Examples of equipment tested are: all types of electrical power tools, electrical kettles, microwave ovens, plug-in air conditioners, heaters, toasters, irons, hair and hand dryers, vacuum cleaners, tape recorders, televisions, overhead projectors, computers, extension leads, power boards etc.
- In addition, portable RCDs need to be tested for operation using a RCD tester.
