Test and Tag Course in Perth: Here’s What You Need to Know

When it comes to maintaining workplace safety, ensuring all electrical equipment is tested and tagged correctly is essential. In Western Australia, businesses have a legal responsibility to make sure their portable electrical devices are safe to use, and that’s where test and tag training comes in.

If you’re looking for a test and tag course in Perth, CET delivers a practical course designed to help you meet requirements from the Australian and New Zealand electrical installations standards (AS/NZS 3000).

What Is Test and Tag?

"Test and tag" refers to the process of checking the safety of portable electrical appliances. This involves visually inspecting equipment, testing it with a portable appliance tester, and tagging it with a label indicating its compliance status and retest date.

It’s a critical process that helps reduce the risk of electric shock and fires in the workplace, and it’s often a requirement under AS/NZS standards.

Who Needs Test and Tag Training?

Many industries rely on skilled individuals to carry out test and tag duties, including:

• Construction and mining
• Manufacturing and warehousing
• Facility and site maintenance
• Office and retail businesses
• Tradespeople and contractors

If you are a registered electrician, an electrical fitter or in your final year of apprenticeship, this training is highly useful and can increase your competitiveness for certain jobs.
