Anthurium Noida – Where Occupational Health and Safety Regulations Are the Top Priority

Occupational Health and Safety Regulations necessitate that all the electrical equipment that are being used for either construction work or used in a hostile operating environment (that is where the safe operation of the electrical equipment could be affected) must be tested and tagged by an authorized tester and tagger.

In keeping with the view of the developers of Anthurium Noida, “Even though office workers do not need to be concerned as the electrical appliances in offices are most often stationary and not endangered externally, it is our sole responsibility that all the equipment and other electrical appliances operational in the office premises are tested and tagged as per the norms”. Construction workers, labourers, tradesmen and workers who work in factories where electrical tools are used and where electrical equipment is used in a "hostile" environment should know that all electrical appliances should undergo testing and tagging.



A few electrical appliances that must undergo testing and tagging procedure include:

  1. Power Tools
  2. Portable lighting
  3. Pedestal lighting
  4. Heaters
  5. Extension cords
  6. Computer power cables
  7. TV's & videos
  8. RMIT owned computers (non-leased)
  9. Battery chargers
  10. Laptop computers (including those leased)
  11. Staff owned electrical equipment
  12. Photocopiers
  13. Isolation transformers
  14. Portable RCD's
  15. Portable outlet devices
  16. Microscopes

To recognize an appliance that has been tested look for an electrical tag that will detail the outcome of the test. If an appliance has failed it must have a Caution-Do Not Use- Out of Service electrical tag on it.

If you feel that there is an electrical appliance that is situated dangerously in your workplace be sure to let your concerned office department know, so that they can take precautionary and other necessary measures.

Correct testing and tagging are beneficial to all involved. It not only protects workers against malfunctioning tools it is also good for the safety of the business.

For example, testing and tagging of appliances:

a) Assist you in complying with OH&S Regulations
b) Prepare you for Work related inspections
c) Help you reduce Insurance Premiums
d) And, importantly identify and minimize risks in the workplace

The health and safety regulations in many countries including India require that electrical appliances are tested and proven to be safe for use. There are various sorts of equipment that need testing and then tagging every few months or annually to ensure that they are safe. The period between each test totally depends on the nature and type of the appliance along with the environment in which it is used. Most hand held or Pass/ Fail testing equipment will visibly show a pass or fail which suffices for home and small office use. However, complex equipment is needed to find out more about how a particular piece of electrical equipment is working and if it's safe to use in the long term. Based on this the equipment then needs to be tagged.

User checks

The testing and tagging process of an appliance usually involves testing professional guiding the user about potential signs of danger which can result in problems. The professional’s job is to inform the user about how reliable the equipment is based on current resistor current flow, transformer efficiency and circuit board condition. For example, if the plug of an appliance is cracked or simply its wire is frayed, the user will be advised not to plug anything or use the appliance, but rather report this fault to the supervisor. The supervisor will then communicate the issue and probable threat via a memo or a poster. This user check needs to be carried out prior to every operation but results are not recorded unless a defect has been identified.

Visual inspections

This is usually a process which entails visually looking at an appliance, its plug and cable for signs of wear and tear. The developer of Anthurium Noida offering its investors fully-loaded office spaces, commercial spaces and coworking spaces in Noida, claims that a trained eye can find 90% of the faults.

Combined inspections as well as PAT testing

It is important that periodical testing of all portable appliances must be done, so that the degree of protection can be identified as adequate. This is especially true in an environment where human lives are at stake. A professional hired must be proficient in not  only inspecting electrical faults that are visible but also should have the calibre of detecting connected faults (that might arise in a few days or so) like faulty wiring and even identify things like gas leaks and leaks of hazardous materials which may compromise the health and life of the employees.

Appliance test and tagging is mandatory for most businesses. But not all get into this process, only a few reputed developers and space providers ensure that all the norms are adhered to, so the employees can work without having any fear of getting hurt.
