Electrical Safety & PAT Testing

 

Faulty or poorly maintained electrical equipment is a hidden risk in many workplaces. QHSE Ltd helps you meet your obligations under HSWA and AS/NZS 3760—keeping people safe and your equipment compliant.

 

Why Choose QHSE Ltd?

 

  • Standards-Based Compliance
    Programmes aligned with AS/NZS 3760 (in-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment) and WorkSafe NZ guidance.
  • Integrated with Your HS&W System
    Electrical safety is built into your wider risk management, not treated as a bolt-on checklist.
  • Practical, Scalable Solutions
    From a single site to a national footprint—schedules, registers and procedures sized to your operation.

 

Our Electrical Safety & PAT Services

 

Portable Appliance Testing (Test & Tag)

 

Routine inspection and testing of plug-in equipment, extension leads and RCDs to AS/NZS 3760—colour-coded tags, digital records and re-test schedules.

 

Electrical Safety Audits

 

Site-wide audits covering cords, outlets, temporary power, maintenance practices, isolation/LOTO procedures and documentation.

 

Electrical Equipment Risk Assessments

 

Identification of higher-risk plant (wet areas, construction, workshops), task-based assessments and control measures.

 

Test & Tag Registers & Scheduling

 

Set up or clean up of your asset register, re-test intervals by environment, automated reminders and dashboard reporting.

 

Procedures, Policies & Training

 

User-check checklists, safe-use instructions, escalation/repair workflows and awareness training for staff and supervisors.

 

Contractor & Hire Equipment Controls

 

Verification processes for contractor-supplied gear and hired plant—so everything on site meets your standard before it’s plugged in.

 

(Repairs or modifications are referred to a licensed electrician—QHSE Ltd focuses on compliance management, not electrical repair work.)

 

Our Approach & Methodology

  1. Gap Review & Equipment Mapping
    Inventory your portable appliances, RCDs and leads; review existing tags, records and procedures.
  2. Risk-Based Test Plan
    Define intervals and inspection depth by environment and usage (office, workshop, construction, damp/wet, hostile).
  3. Implementation & Testing
    Conduct inspections/testing, tag equipment, capture results and assign corrective actions.
  4. Register, Reporting & Reminders
    Provide a live register, compliance report and set automated reminders for re-testing.
  5. Continuous Improvement
    Periodic reviews, trend analysis (fail types, repeat faults) and updates to procedures and training.
