We test school equipment during holidays and after hours to minimise disruption to students and staff. Our team understands the unique requirements of educational environments.
Test & Tag for Schools
Overview
Schools have a duty of care to ensure all portable electrical equipment is safe for use by staff and students. From classrooms and staff rooms to science labs, workshops, and gymnasiums, schools use a wide range of electrical equipment that requires regular inspection and testing.
Why It Matters
Why Test & Tag Matters for Schools
Schools have a duty of care to students, staff, and visitors to ensure electrical equipment is safe.
Science labs, workshops, and technology rooms contain specialist equipment that requires careful testing.
IT equipment across classrooms, computer labs, and offices represents a significant asset base requiring tracking.
Testing during school holidays avoids disruption to teaching and learning.
Documented compliance records are required for school audits and board of trustees reporting.
