POWERED ELECTRICAL
Testing & Tagging
At Powered Industries, we deliver comprehensive electrical Test & Tagging services to safeguard your workplace, residential property, or public facility against preventable electrical hazards. Appliances, tools, and equipment degrade over time, and unchecked faults can lead to catastrophic risks—from workplace electrocution to costly fines for non-compliance with Australian safety laws. Regular testing and tagging isn’t just a regulatory obligation under AS/NZS 3760:2022; it’s a proactive measure to protect lives, assets, and operational continuity.
Our licensed technicians use diagnostic tools, including portable appliance testers (PAT) and insulation resistance testers, to rigorously inspect, test, and certify every electrical item. We service construction sites, offices, healthcare facilities, and industrial plants across Melbourne, ensuring compliance with WorkSafe Victoria and national standards. Whether you’re managing a fleet of power tools, commercial kitchen equipment, or IT infrastructure, our detailed reporting and color-coded tagging system provide clarity on asset safety, maintenance schedules, and compliance status.
Beyond testing, we identify recurring issues like damaged cords, faulty grounding, or overloaded circuits, offering actionable solutions to minimise future risks.
Trust Powered Industries to keep your environment audit-ready, reduce liability exposure, and ensure peace of mind that every plug, cable, and device operates safely and efficiently.
