Mission and goals: To be the outstanding service provider of Appliance Safety Testing for our business and corporate clients. To give our customers outstanding service and to do everything to satisfy their requirements. Background: Appliance Testing 3760 Ltd was formed in 2005 by Bruce Gordon. Safety in the workplace has taken an increasingly important place in the management of all New Zealand companies over the last 10 years. Management has generally realized the many benefits of providing a safe workplace; employees' feeling of well being and overall productivity is increased. Businesses that are proactive with employee safety also project a very positive business attitude through their employees to their customers. Staff in most companies use many electrical appliances every day without any problem however when an electrical hazard does exist it is often not detectable and can kill. This is the reason to test for safety. Registration and practicing licence valid to June 2011
