Workplace safety isn’t just about ticking compliance boxes—it’s about protecting people, property, and peace of mind. Two often overlooked but critical safety checks are Fire Extinguisher Testing and Microwave Leakage Testing. With the right equipment and expertise, businesses can dramatically reduce risk and stay compliant with Australian safety standards.

The Importance of Fire Extinguisher Testing

Fire extinguishers are your first line of defence in an emergency. But an extinguisher that hasn’t been tested or maintained properly may fail when it’s needed most.

Why Fire Extinguisher Testing Matters

Regular Fire Extinguisher Testing ensures that:

·       Extinguishers are fully charged and operational

·       No corrosion, damage, or leakage is present

·       Equipment complies with AS 1851 standards

·       Staff and visitors are protected in case of fire

Routine testing also helps businesses avoid fines, insurance issues, and unnecessary downtime caused by non-compliance.

PowerQ Test and Tag provides reliable fire extinguisher inspection and testing services, ensuring every unit is clearly tagged, tested, and ready for use.

Microwave Leakage Tester: A Hidden but Serious Safety Check

Microwaves are everywhere—offices, staff rooms, hospitals, schools, and commercial kitchens. While they seem harmless, damaged or faulty microwaves can leak radiation if not properly tested.

What Is a Microwave Leakage Tester?

A Microwave Leakage Tester is a specialised device used to measure radiation emissions from microwave ovens. It confirms whether the unit is operating within safe exposure limits.

Why Microwave Leakage Testing Is Essential

·       Protects staff from harmful radiation exposure

·       Identifies damaged seals or faulty doors

·       Ensures compliance with workplace safety requirements

·       Extends appliance lifespan by detecting issues early

Many businesses don’t realise microwave testing is part of broader electrical safety responsibilities. PowerQ Test and Tag includes microwave leakage testing as part of comprehensive safety inspections.
