Testing and tagging annual reminder

16 November 2005

All faculty/department/administrative heads are reminded that it is mandatory to test and tag all portable electrical appliances in accordance with AS/NZS 3760: 2003 and the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004.

Please refer to the following document: http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/ohse/documents/procedures/testing-tagging.pdf.

Facilities and Services can assist in organising the testing of the equipment, however it is the responsibility of department heads to ensure this happens and that records are kept.

A record of the completed tests should also be forwarded to Facilities and Services for mandatory record keeping as soon as possible following completion of the test, or by 20 December each year. The one page record should contain the following information: total number of appliances tested, how many passed, how many failed, action taken and the date of testing.

Please note that any appliance with an expired date on the tag must be tested before use.

For further information contact Trevor Wilson on +61 3 9905 3082.
