Electrical equipment testing and tagging: How often should we be testing and tagging electrical equipment in NSW schools according to WHS legislation? My school says that it should be every 6 months.
Science laboratories in schools have electrical portable equipment such as digital balances, microscopes, power supply, hot plates, etc
Science offices have equipment such as printers and/or photocopiers, computers and other electrical equipment, which is generally not moved.
Science ASSIST has developed an information sheet with more details regarding this topic. See Science ASSIST Information sheet 'Testing requirements for portable electrical equipment'
