Ensuring that our electrical system and appliances are regularly tested and tagged is something that should be a priority in our lives. Even more so if you have employees working for you and with the equipment on the premises, or your family at home using the appliances. 

Faulty wiring, cables, and sockets are easily repaired or replaced and a maintenance plan in place can be what makes the difference between a short circuit and a tragic accident that could have been easily prevented.

Electrical testing services and tests carried out vary from country to state and across the various industries, read more in-depth about it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_safety_testing but essentially it is the safety inspection of all your electrics and ensuring they are fit for operation, you can take the help of an electrician in Sydney.

On the job.

When an engineer comes to the site to do the assessment and the compliance checks he will write down and note all his findings on a report of which, he should give you the original and keep the copy for himself once all signatures have been completed. 

This will say what has been checked, the areas and all the appliances written down, and the necessary if any recommendations are needed to bring them up to regulation and to be safe for use.

Similarly, the equipment that has been tested and that is up to date and safe will have a tested sticker put onto them with the date, the employee’s name, and the date of expiry which details when the next test is due.

You may think you could leave the testing to the last possible minute, but would you feel safe letting your children or co-workers use a toaster machine where the wiring is frayed and the plug socket is loose? This is not a risk worth taking.

5 Basic reasons why electrical safety checks are necessary.

  • Excessive. A quick overview, and especially if the electrician in Sydney is using a thermal imaging camera, will show if any areas or circuits within the areas are overloaded and emitting too much heat. This way you can space the wiring out or diminish some of the cablings.

There are many reasons why the safety implementation is so important and people who have experienced first-hand the effects of not having these in place would agree, albeit through an unfortunate ‘learning’ experience, read what some of them have to say in this link and see that neglect or procrastination can be detrimental in the long run.

  • Hazards. You can soon find out potential shock risk appliances and fire hazard accidents waiting to happen, having them replaced with up to date and more efficient wires or cables will give you peace of mind knowing you won’t get a late-night phone call from the fire department.
  • Defects. Cables and sockets that look and seem to work fine may just be the tip of the iceberg, don’t wait to see ‘if’ something will happen, where there is smoke there is fire, as the old saying goes. If it doesn’t look right it is safer to prevent a bad situation than to cure it.
  • Injury. Equipment that is being operated in such a way that it compensates for the proper usage is an accident waiting to happen, too often we ‘make a plan’ to use the tools because we know it works, but one day it may not and you could end up being seriously injured. A check will help rule this out for you, and keep you safe.
  • Upgrades. In the event the report states that the system needs to be reconfigured to work optimally, this would be a good time to revamp and update the facilities. New units and electrical boxes all work together to improve the safety of the staff and makes for better aesthetics.

Hiring the right firm.

There are so many advertisements and promotions from companies it is easy to become overwhelmed with it all, making notes and jotting down a few pointers will keep you on track and focused when researching which electrical business to consider.

Qualifications are a top priority in my book, having the correct certifications and licenses to carry out specific testing practices will set you at ease knowing you are in capable and legal hands. Too many a time people are taken for granted and swooped up in the flashes and discounts they forget to ask for their licensed ID card showing their accreditations.

You should ideally narrow down your search to a handful of companies and work your way backward. Checking the number of years they have been operating, how often they send their staff for updated courses, and most importantly customer comments in the reviews section of their webpage.

A great way to know you are making the right choice is going off recommendations from family and friends who have used the services of the particular firm, they will guide you and state the type of service you are likely to receive and you can conclude from there.

Last thoughts.

While having the safety test carried out efficiently and effectively is the main objective, at the same time it helps the tester check over your documentation from previous tests. 

An electrician in Sydney will advise you how best to improve the management thereof and this way ensures that in the event an accident was to occur you will be covered by your insurance company, and find the documentation papers effortlessly to submit for claims.

Being organized saves you time and money.
