Frequently Asked Questions
How often should fire hydrant flow testing be conducted?
It is generally recommended that fire hydrant flow testing be conducted annually as part of a comprehensive inspection and maintenance routine. This recommendation is outlined in the Australian Standard AS1851-2012, which covers the routine servicing of fire protection systems and equipment.
Why is regular fire hydrant flow testing important?
Regular flow testing ensures the functionality and compliance of the fire hydrant system. It contributes to the overall safety of the building's occupants by ensuring an effective response in the event of a fire.
What is 'Test and Tag' and why is it important?
'Test and Tag' is a procedure involving the regular inspection and testing of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure their safety. After testing, each item is labelled with the date of the test and the next test date. This process is crucial for maintaining electrical safety and compliance with Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3760 and AS/NZS 3012)
Why is "Test and Tag" Important?
Here are some of the reasons why Test and Tag is so important in Australia:
Electrical Accident Prevention: Regular testing and tagging can detect potential electrical faults or difficulties that could result in accidents like electric shock, electrical burns, or even fire. This proactive strategy has the potential to avoid accidents and save lives.
Maintaining Equipment Efficiency: Aside from safety concerns, Test and Tag helps to keep your electrical appliances and equipment running efficiently. Regular inspections can detect problems before they become serious, saving time and money on repairs or replacements.
Insurance Requirements: As part of their policy requirements, many insurance firms require enterprises to comply with Test and Tag regulations. In the event of an accident, compliance can be critical. If a company is found to have violated the regulations, it may have an impact on their insurance coverage or liability in the event of an incident.
Ensuring Workplace Safety: A frequent testing and tagging procedure contributes to a company's overall safety culture. It emphasises the importance of safety and health measures and urges workers to be aware of their surroundings.
Risk Management: Finally, testing and tagging are critical components of a company's risk management approach. A corporation can lower the chance of accidents by frequently testing and marking electrical equipment, resulting in a safer workplace and communicating to employees and consumers that the company takes safety seriously.
