Test & Tag Visual Checks & More
Once we’ve tested your equipment, you’ll receive high-visibility tags showing the date of testing, the next due date, and the technician responsible. These tags make it easy to stay compliant and track your electrical safety status at a glance.
We also carry out thorough visual checks as part of the service, inspecting:
Power cords and connectors | Plugs and sockets
Outer sheaths and casing | Signs of wear or damage
If any issues are found, we’ll explain what’s needed to make things safe again. With McGrath Electrical & Data, you’ll get straightforward advice and professional service — no shortcuts, no guesswork. Reach out today to schedule your next round of Test & Tag.

FAQ
What types of equipment need to be tested and tagged?
Any portable electrical appliance that plugs into a power point should be tested and tagged — this includes tools, extension leads, kitchen appliances, computers and more. The requirement applies to most workplaces, especially those in construction, manufacturing or where equipment is regularly moved or used by multiple people.
How often does test and tag need to be done?
Testing intervals depend on the type of equipment and the environment it's used in. For example, construction sites require testing every 3 months, while office equipment might only need testing every 1 to 5 years. We can help you set up a schedule that keeps you compliant with AS/NZS 3760.
Is test & tag a legal requirement for all businesses?
Yes — under Australian WHS laws, workplaces must ensure their electrical equipment is safe. Test & Tag is the recognised method for meeting that obligation. Failure to comply can lead to penalties, insurance issues or serious safety risks. It's not just best practice — it's mandatory.
