⚠️ A Reminder About Electrical Safety in the Workplace and what Test & Tagging can prevent⚠️
These photos were taken from an appliance that was still operating, yet hidden damage had already occurred inside the plug and socket.
The appliance continued to work, but behind the scenes excessive heat had caused melting, carbon build-up and deterioration of the electrical connection. In many cases, faults like this go completely unnoticed until a critical incident occurs — such as an electrical fire, equipment failure, or electric shock.
This is exactly why regular Test & Tag inspections are important in workplaces. A visual inspection alone may not always reveal developing faults, and many damaged items remain plugged in and in use every day without anyone realising there is a problem.
Regular inspection and testing can help:
✅ Identify damaged plugs, leads and equipment
✅ Reduce the risk of electrical fires
✅ Reduce the risk of electric shock or electrocution
✅ Assist businesses in meeting their workplace safety obligations
✅ Protect staff, customers and property
Electrical faults don’t always announce themselves with sparks, smoke or tripped breakers. Sometimes they sit quietly in the background until the day they don’t.
If you operate a business, it may be worth asking yourself: When was the last time your electrical equipment was inspected and tested?
