Cairns Test & Tag
At Hendo’s TV Antennas & Installations, we provide fully qualified test and tag services across Cairns, Innisfail, Mission Beach, the Tablelands, and Trinity Beach. We help you stay compliant, safe, and operational and ensure your portable electrical appliances and tools meet all safety standards.
- Fully qualified testing
- Fast, onsite service
- Clear tagging & documentation
Every appliance or tool that passes testing is tagged with a colour-coded, tamper-proof label showing its pass status, the technician’s ID, the date of testing, and the next due date. If an item fails, we’ll explain why, recommend solutions, and remove it from service.
Our test and tag services are perfect for construction sites, factories, offices, cafes, holiday rentals, workshops, and homes. We test power tools, extension cords, kitchen appliances, computer systems, chargers, fans, lighting, and more. We work quickly, minimising downtime and disruption to your day.

Safety Made Easy
Every tool, extension cord, and portable electrical appliance used in the workplace carries some risk if not tested and inspected regularly. That’s why Hendo’s TV Antennas & Installations offers comprehensive test and tag services designed to help businesses and individuals meet Australian safety requirements (AS/NZS 3760) while reducing the risk of electrical hazards.
If an item fails the inspection, we don’t just tag it and walk away. We’ll clearly explain the issue, recommend a solution, and help you take the following steps. We aim to keep your site safe, compliant, and running smoothly with minimal disruption.
We also provide services for property managers, real estate agents, landlords, caravan and RV owners, and anyone responsible for maintaining electrical safety in residential or commercial setups. Whether you need a one-off safety check or regular compliance inspections as part of your OH&S schedule, we have the tools, knowledge, and experience to get the job done right.
How often should test and tag be carried out?
The frequency of test and tag depends on the environment and equipment type. For example, construction and demolition sites require testing every 3 months, while office environments typically need equipment checked every 12 months. High-risk or outdoor environments often require more frequent testing due to greater exposure to dust, moisture, or damage.
What happens if an item fails a test and tag inspection?
If an item fails, it must be immediately removed from service and clearly marked as failed or unsafe. The failure may result from exposed wiring, faulty insulation, earth leakage, or damaged plugs. Depending on the fault, the appliance may need repair by a licensed technician or be replaced altogether.
Is test and tag mandatory for businesses in Australia?
While not all businesses are legally required to test and tag, workplace health and safety regulations demand that employers ensure all electrical equipment is safe to use. Regular test and tag procedures are mandatory for high-risk environments like construction, mining, or manufacturing.
Even in low-risk settings like offices, test and tag helps meet duty-of-care obligations and can reduce insurance risks.
