Short answer
Test and tag means inspecting and electrically testing portable appliances and leads, then fitting a dated tag. In Sydney it typically costs $4 to $8 per item, plus a call-out on small jobs. How often you need it depends on the environment, from every three months on construction sites to longer intervals in low-risk offices.
NSW workplace health and safety rules require electrical equipment to be kept safe, and require regular inspection and testing in higher-risk environments. AS/NZS 3760 sets out how to do it and how often.
We bring the tester, tags and spare plugs, so most simple faults are repaired on the spot.
