Test & Tag

Electrical equipment is a part of most workplaces. Therefore, it is essential that all electronics in your workplace are regularly tested and tagged by qualified professionals. The benefits of carrying out such works, is to protect your staff, reduce workplace dangers, and maintain the quality of your equipment. Any item that is to be plugged in to or connected to a wall socket or generator qualifies to be tested. This can include but not limited to electric drills, monitors, PC’s and larger items like photocopiers and refrigerators. AmbaGuard thoroughly inspects all electrical goods and will only pass an item and provide a tag after we have comprehensively completed our testing to ensure it is safe to use.

RCD Testing

RCDs (residual current devices) are critical for workplace electrical safety. A functioning and tested RCD will break the circuit as soon as it detects any kind of disruption in the flow of current, thereby, protecting both the electric appliance and the worker handling it. The greatest advantage of a working RCD is employee and appliance safety, but also compliance with industry regulations, early detection of faults, future cost saving, and preventing fires. The technicians at AmbaGuard perform a comprehensive assessment of the RCD to detect any faults that might have developed in it, and can compare previous results which may indicate that it’s failing. Do yourself a favour and avoid the possibility of​​ extremely harmful or fatal electric shocks in your workplace. Contact us today.

Exit & Emergency Lighting

In the event of a serious incident within your commercial premises, your staff and customers will need to safely exit a potentially dangerous environment. Exit and emergency lights can help to safely evacuate employees and assist fire services searching the building.

Depending on when your premises was built or when building work occurred on the premises will determine your obligations under the regulations. Therefore, most commercial buildings that are occupied by employees, customers or the general public will require emergency lighting, and the common areas of multi-residential buildings. AmbaGuard’s technicians are able to test and assist with replacement and repair lighting. We offer a comprehensive emergency lighting service for many locations including clubs, schools, offices, commercial buildings and more.
