Test & Tag for Mining
Mining operations require specialist electrical testing in hazardous environments. Our technicians are trained to work in underground and surface mining conditions with strict safety protocols.
Compliance
Why Mining Operations Need Specialist Testing
Mining and resources operations run in classified, remote and unforgiving environments. Electrical testing here is as much about hazard awareness and scheduling discipline as the tests themselves — with records that stand up to both company and government audits.
- 01
Mining sites have hazardous area classifications requiring specialist electrical testing.
- 02
Explosion-proof equipment must meet strict compliance requirements.
- 03
Remote site logistics demand reliable, scheduled testing programs.
- 04
FIFO rosters require flexible testing schedules that work around crew changes.
Challenges
Mining Electrical Safety Challenges
Remote sites, classified areas and heavy-duty equipment change how testing is planned and recorded.
Hazardous area classifications
Equipment used in classified areas must be selected and tested to match the classification, not treated as ordinary portable appliance work.
Explosion-proof equipment requirements
Explosion-proof and flameproof assemblies carry their own inspection requirements alongside standard portable appliance tests.
Remote site logistics
Distance, access and crew rosters all shape the schedule, so visits are planned well in advance around site operations.
Strict MSHA/state compliance requirements
Mine sites carry layered regulatory obligations, and records need to stand up to both company and government audits.
Heavy-duty equipment testing
Pumps, fans and heavy machinery draw far more than office equipment, so three-phase testing is part of the standard program.
Our Process
How We Test Mining Equipment
Every visit follows the same disciplined sequence, adapted to the access, scheduling and equipment realities of mining sites.
01
Visual Inspection
Plugs, cords, casings and guards are examined for damage, wear and signs of heat before any instrument is connected.
02
Electrical Testing
Earth continuity, insulation resistance and leakage testing carried out against AS/NZS 3760, with a pass or fail recorded for every item.
03
QR Asset Tracking
Each tested item receives a unique QR code linking to its full test history and next test date in your asset register.
04
Digital Records
Results, photos of failed items and next test dates are delivered in digital compliance reports within 24 hours.
Equipment
Equipment We Test in Mining
This is the portable equipment we most often see at mining workplaces — a working sample rather than a limit. If it plugs in and your team relies on it, it is tested and recorded the same way.
- Underground Lighting
- Portable Pumps
- Ventilation Fans
- Communication Equipment
- Testing Instruments
- Safety Equipment

Digital Compliance Tools Included
When we test your site, the digital side of the job is part of the service — not an extra product. Every item tested is recorded in a QR-linked asset register, and the reports, certificates and reminders that hang off it come as part of your inspection.
The register is the centre of the system: scan the label on any item and its result, history and next test date are there, which is what makes reviews and audits quick.
QR Asset Labels
Durable QR codes on every tested item linking to full test history.
Online Portal
24/7 access to your complete asset register and compliance status.
Digital Certificates
Formal compliance certificates for auditors and regulators.
Compliance Reports
Detailed reports with pass/fail summaries and recommendations.
Reminder System
Automated email alerts when items are due for retesting.
Asset Register
Complete register of all tested items with search and filtering.
