AS/NZS 3760:2022 Practical Training – Delivered monthly.
Learn how to safely replace plug tops and sockets on 240V single phase extension leads and cord-connected equipment. Gain the competancy needed with our hands-on training.
Schedule: Held monthly on Wednesdays, directly after the Test and Tag course
Course Duration: 1.5 hours face-to-face. No online work required.
Industries: Ideal for construction, manufacturing, maintenance, and more.
Our non-accredited Plug Top Replacement Course provides you with the knowledge and practical skills to safely replace plugs and sockets on 240V single phase equipment.
This course is ideal for those looking to gain plugs and socket replacement skills in industries such as equipment hire, construction, manufacturing, and facilities maintenance.
This course provides you with the knowledge and competency to safely replace 240V plugs and sockets, according to manufacturer's instructions.
Safe Work Australia allows non-electrically qualified persons to replace 240 volt plugs and sockets provided they have been properly trained, assessed, and deemed competent.
Please note that this is a non-accredited course and upon successful completion of this course, you will receive a Certificate of Attendance. This certificate confirms you have completed the training and demonstrates your competency in safely replacing electrical plugs and sockets.
Students will be required to disconnect and reconnect a 240V plug and socket in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure safe and correct handling. They will then use a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT) to verify that the lead or equipment is electrically safe and ready for use.
While it is preferred that you have completed a standard Test and Tag course, it is not essential. This course is open to all participants. No prior electrical experience or qualifications required.
This course is delivered at our Wangara training venue and runs for approximately 1.5 hours (90 minutes).
Arrive 10 minutes prior to course start time. Late arrivals will need to reschedule.
Wear appropriate attire including enclosed shoes.

The nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for CPPFES2005 - Demonstrate First Attack Firefighting Equipment has no expiry date, so once competent, you do not need to renew your fire fighting certification.
Generally asked Test and Tag Course Questions. Can't see your answer? Contact Us!
Your Test and Tag licence number is printed on your Statement of Attainment certificate.
Use the last seven digits of your certificate number — that’s your official licence number for compliance and record-keeping purposes.
In Western Australia, if you don’t hold an electrical qualification, you must be deemed competent to use a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
To be considered competent, you need to complete a nationally recognised Test and Tag training course and receive a Statement of Attainment. This ensures you can legally and safely perform testing and tagging in the workplace.
Yes — under AS/NZS 3012, hire equipment must be tested before it's hired and then once a month while on site.
If portable hire equipment stays onsite for more than one month, it must be re-tested every 3 months.
It is the responsibility of the person hiring the equipment (hiree) to test and tag the equipment every 3 months.
The main standard is AS/NZS 3760, which outlines how to inspect and test electrical equipment and appliances in the workplace.
If you're working on construction or demolition sites, you should also refer to AS/NZS 3012.
In Western Australia, WorkSafe WA provides a free guide on testing and tagging portable electrical equipment and residual current devices (RCDs) — a helpful resource to stay compliant and informed.
Any electrical equipment with a power cord that plugs into a standard low-voltage (240V) outlet should be tested and tagged for safety.
This includes:
Appliances (e.g. toasters, kettles, computers)
Power tools (e.g. drills, grinders)
Cord assemblies (e.g. extension leads, EPODs, chargers, power boards)
Testing ensures the equipment is safe for use and meets workplace safety standards under AS/NZS 3760.
No — new equipment doesn’t require testing, but it must still be visually inspected for obvious damage before being used.
Instead of a regular tag, you can apply a “New to Service” tag, which must include:
The words: “new to service”
The date it entered service
The next scheduled test date
A statement: “This appliance has not been tested in accordance with AS/NZS 3760.”
Responsibility for safety at this stage lies with the supplier, but the visual inspection is still your obligation.
It is not a legal requirement to test and tag office equipment in most low-risk environments.
However, WHS regulations in WA require all workplaces to ensure electrical equipment is regularly inspected to prevent harm. The responsibility falls on the PCBU (Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking) to maintain electrical safety.
IIn construction, demolition, or mining industries, WA follows AS/NZS 3012 for tag colours based on the testing month:
🔴 Red – December, January, February
🟢 Green – March, April, May
🔵 Blue – June, July, August
🟡 Yellow – September, October, November
Always check your local state or territory regulations, as colour requirements can vary depending on the work environment and legislation.
Your nationally recognised Statement of Attainment does not expire. Once you are assessed as competent, there is no formal requirement to renew the qualification.
However, under AS/NZS 3760, only a Competent Person can legally perform inspection and testing. Staying current with safety standards, Codes of Practice, and industry updates helps ensure you maintain your skills and compliance.
RCDs (Residual Current Devices) are critical for personal safety and should be tested regularly to ensure they function correctly.
Daily: A push-button test shall be performed after connection to a socket or before connection of equipment, and at least once every day in use (per AS/NZS 3012)
Every 3 months: A trip-time test is required to ensure proper operation.
Factories or workshops: Portable RCDs in these environments should also undergo daily push-button testing or a test before each use.
Following these guidelines ensures workplace safety, as outlined in AS/NZS 3760.
In Australia, the frequency of testing and tagging electrical equipment in the workplace is governed by AS/NZS 3760:2022 and relevant work health and safety (WHS) laws. The required intervals depend on the type of environment the equipment is used in, not just the equipment itself.
Recommended testing intervals:
Construction, mining & demolition: Every 3 months
Factories, workshops, and manufacturing areas: Every 6 months
Refer to AS/NZS 3760:2022 and AS/NZS 3012 for full compliance guidelines based on your environment.
Yes — testing and tagging is mandatory for workplaces in the construction, demolition, and mining industries, as outlined in AS/NZS 3012.
For all other industries, it’s not legally required, but WHS regulations do require electrical equipment to be regularly inspected and maintained to minimise risk of injury or harm in the workplace.
