Under Victoria's workplace safety laws, employers must keep plant and equipment safe — and AS/NZS 3760 is the recognised way to show you've done that for anything that plugs in. We test and tag every portable appliance and lead on site, record the results in a register, and repair or replace what fails on the spot where we can.
What we test
Portable and hand-held appliances, IT equipment, kitchen appliances, extension leads and power boards, portable RCDs, and fixed RCDs (push-button and trip-time testing). Each item gets a visual inspection, the relevant electrical tests, and a durable tag showing the test date and the next test due.
You get a full register — item, location, result and re-test date — so you can show your insurer, landlord or WorkSafe exactly what was done.
How often does equipment need testing?
AS/NZS 3760 sets intervals by environment. Equipment in harsh or high-use environments — workshops, commercial kitchens, factories, hire gear — needs testing far more often than equipment in a low-risk office. Construction and demolition sites follow the tighter requirements of AS/NZS 3012.
We'll recommend intervals for each area of your site and remind you when the next round is due, so it never lapses.
