Construction Sites
Test and Tag for Construction Sites
Building Safety from the Ground Up
Construction sites are dynamic, high-risk environments where the constant movement of people, materials, and equipment demands the highest standards of safety. Electrical hazards, in particular, pose a significant threat due to the prevalence of portable tools, temporary power setups, and challenging environmental conditions. This makes rigorous Test and Tag services an absolute non-negotiable for any construction project.
At Test and Tag Kiwi, we specialise in providing robust electrical testing and portable appliance testing specifically tailored for construction sites across Auckland and beyond. We understand the urgency, the compliance requirements, and the critical need for reliable, safe equipment in this demanding industry.
Our appliance test and tag procedures are carried out by highly experienced technicians who are accustomed to the unique conditions of construction sites. We prioritise efficiency and thoroughness, ensuring all portable electrical equipment meets the stringent safety standards outlined in New Zealand’s Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010, and crucially, the AS/NZS 3760:2022 standard for in-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment. Given the harsh environment, the re-test frequencies for construction and demolition sites are typically much shorter (e.g., every 3 months) to mitigate risks effectively.
We know that time is money on a construction site. Our team works flexibly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to your workflow, ensuring your equipment is compliant and safe without unnecessary delays. We provide clear, comprehensive reports for all tested items, offering essential documentation for your site safety plans and regulatory audits.
Our Tailored Test and Tag Services for Construction Sites Include
As leading providers of Auckland test and tag solutions, our services are designed to address the specific electrical safety needs of construction projects. We meticulously test a wide array of equipment, including:
- Power Tools: Drills, grinders, saws, demolition hammers, nail guns, and all other portable electric hand tools that are fundamental to construction work.
- Extension Leads & Power Boards: These are arguably the most critical items to test on a construction site due to their constant use, exposure to damage, and vital role in distributing power. We pay particular attention to their integrity and RCD protection.
- Portable RCDs (Residual Current Devices): Often integrated into power boards or used as standalone units, these life-saving devices must be regularly tested to ensure they provide immediate protection against electric shock.
- Site Office Equipment: Kettles, microwaves, fridges, computers, and other appliances used in temporary site offices and staff welfare facilities.
- Lighting: Portable work lights and temporary lighting solutions.
- Welders & Generators: While often larger, portable versions and their associated leads require vigilant testing.
- Single phase testing: Applicable to the vast majority of portable electrical equipment used on construction sites.
