A Residual Current Device (RCD), also known as a Safety Switch is a device located in the distribution boards of some sites. Just like your Portable Appliances, Occupational Health & Safety Act 2000 and Occupational Health & Safety Regulation 2001 requires that you test your RCDs to ensure that they are working correctly.
As part of our testing procedure, Appliance Test & Tag Services shall test your RCDs and perform data capture to the Australian Standard 3760.
Our technicians will perform both a "push button" and millisecond test to ensure that these devices are functioning within appropriate standards. The information from these tests shall be recorded and reported to you along with your appliance testing and tagging information.
These devices are designed to save lives, if you have gone to the effort to have these live saving devices installed in your workplace it only makes sense to ensure they work!
