Asset tagging & reporting service

An asset register is a list of all appliances with the date that they were last tested and a retest date.

It is dangerous to rely on an asset register for the safety of appliances as it quickly goes out of date.

The important thing for safety is that all staff know to check the appliance for signs of damage

before every use and only use appliances that have a current test tag.

Although an asset register was common practice years ago, it is not and never has been a requirement to have one under the standard.

Some appliance testing company's still push for you to have an asset register created and maintained by them at extra and ongoing cost to you.

It is a Waste of Money and does not add anything to safety as the required information is already on every tag for each appliance.

An asset register quickly becomes misleading and dangerous to rely on as appliances are moved, deleted or replaced throughout the year.

For example: When a lead in an office with a test frequency of five years is moved to a workshop where the test frequency is six months.

This unreliability is the reason that an asset register usually sits unused from one year to the next.

The test frequency is dependent on the environment that the appliance is in and we re-assess this for each appliance at every visit.

We only test the appliances that are due, related to their present environment saving you money by not doing any unnecessary testing.

We remind you when your appliances are due for retesting to keep Your appliances OSH compliant.

Of course there are reasons to have an asset register e.g. for company accounting and insurance purposes however all assets over a certain value

(not just electrical appliances) should be included and there are specialist companies that provide that service or an in-house list could be made.

We have decided to stick to what we do best - Appliance testing for safety.

Reports and Certificate

We provide you with an updated on site report at every visit including:

The number tested and the number failed.

Failed appliance location, an explanation of the fault and a recommendation.

Each of our tags has a unique number on it for counting or auditing the number tested.

A report on any other hazards identified with recommendations for safety.

A wall Certificate for audit purposes showing that your appliances have being tested and including

a notice to your staff with electrical safety information as part of your OSH obligations.
