Portable Appliance & RCD Testing

Electrical safety is a critical responsibility for any business. At Garrott Electrical, we provide professional portable appliance testing and RCD testing services to help keep your workplace safe, compliant, and operating without risk.


Faulty electrical equipment is one of the leading causes of workplace incidents. Regular testing ensures that your appliances and safety devices are functioning correctly and meet Australian standards.

Why Testing is Essential for Your Business

If you operate in an industrial, commercial, or construction environment, you have a legal obligation to ensure electrical equipment is safe to use. Regular testing reduces the risk of electric shock, fire hazards, and equipment failure.



It also provides peace of mind that your business is compliant with workplace health and safety requirements.

What We Test

We carry out comprehensive testing on:


  • Portable electrical appliances
  • Power tools and extension leads
  • Office equipment and machinery
  • Residual Current Devices (RCDs)
  • Safety switches and circuits

Our Testing Process

We follow a structured and compliant approach:


  • Visual inspection of all equipment
  • Electrical testing using calibrated equipment
  • Tagging and labelling of tested items
  • Detailed reporting for compliance records
  • Identification of faulty or unsafe equipment

How Often Should Testing Be Done?

Testing frequency depends on your work environment. High-risk environments such as construction and industrial sites require more frequent testing, while office-based environments may have longer intervals.



We’ll work with you to establish a testing schedule that meets compliance requirements and suits your operations.
