Commercial and factories
New Zealand’s official work safety standards require all businesses to ensure that their electrical appliances and equipment are safe. Testing and tagging your equipment are a sure way to safeguard your equipment from injury to others and damage to property in the event of a malfunction.
Testing and labeling your equipment as safe at the time the test was performed will help catch potentially fatal equipment which gives the opportunity to make remedies before any serious harm or damage can be done.
