An essential element of working in the mining, construction or demolition industry is having your electrical equipment tested and tagged periodically according to New Zealand Standards AS/NZS 3760. This is something Test & Tag Training deals with every day – teaching people how to test and tag safely across the country.
What most people don’t realise, says head of training Grant Anderson, is that anyone can learn how to test and tag – you don’t need any specific qualifications or electrical experience.
“What you actually need is to be considered a ‘competent person’, something that is acquired after successfully completing a one-day course,” says Anderson.
This means businesses can effectively take control of their electrical safety by nominating an employee to test and tag their workplace appliances by placing them through this easy-to-understand course, while also saving money in the long-run.
“We proudly guarantee that every student will be ready to test and tag after the course, having done so for over 30,000 others,” says Anderson.
Online or face-to-face
Due to the unprecedented nature of Covid-19 and how it made classroom-based learning quite impossible, Test & Tag Training had to redevelop how it taught training. What used to be only face-to-face courses now included an online version which is taught via a virtual classroom experience, meaning students can join in from anywhere in New Zealand.
For others that prefer a face-to-face version, there are Test & Tag Training courses available in both the North and South Island.
Lifetime technical support
Once you complete the course, Test & Tag Training provides full lifetime technical support that is free of charge.
“So, when you’re on the job and you’re unsure of how to test certain equipment or how to use your appliance tester, you can email or call and a test and tag industry professional will help you out.”
