Electrical test and tag
Inspection, testing and tagging of in-service plug-in electrical equipment, with a digital register and item-level results.
Inspections & competency
Different inspections need different evidence of competency
Plenty of providers advertise a long list of inspections. We would rather be clear about what we hold competency for today, what we will only accept once the task-specific competency is verified, and what belongs with a licensed or specialist provider.
What "competent person" means
Under Victorian occupational health and safety practice, a competent person is someone who has acquired the knowledge and skills to carry out a particular task through training, qualification or experience. Competency is task-specific — one course does not authorise every type of inspection. Safe Work Australia's plant guidance takes the same approach: items such as lifting gear and elevating work platforms must be inspected by a person competent for that specific task.

B · Subject to competency verification
Add-on services we accept only after scope and competency are confirmed
The items below are not presented as currently certified, available or guaranteed. Each requires task-specific competency — and in some cases a licensed provider — to be verified before we would accept the work. Where we cannot demonstrate competency for your task, we say so and help you find an appropriately qualified provider.
- Portable ladder inspections and registersSubject to separate competency verification / appropriately qualified provider
- Pallet-racking visual inspectionsSubject to separate competency verification / appropriately qualified provider
- Harness and fall-arrest equipment inspectionsSubject to separate competency verification / appropriately qualified provider
- Lifting accessories — slings, chains and shackles — inspectionsSubject to separate competency verification / appropriately qualified provider
- Selected fire equipment and essential safety measure checksSubject to separate competency verification / appropriately qualified provider
- Emergency and exit-light checksSubject to separate competency verification / appropriately qualified provider

Ask us to confirm scope and competency before booking.
Send through what you need inspected and we will tell you honestly whether it sits inside our competency, needs a verified add-on, or belongs with a specialist.
