Most businesses own more plug-in gear than they realise: heaters, kettles, computers, chargers, power boards, extension leads and power tools. We work through every room, workshop and storeroom at your Pegasus premises so nothing is skipped, and can test before opening, after hours or in stages to keep your team working.
Lake Events, Clubrooms and New Builds: Testing in Pegasus
Pegasus is a master-planned town beside Woodend, designed for about 1,700 house sites and up to 6,000 people, and building has continued since the first titles were issued in January 2008. Building sites are still part of everyday life here, and each one runs saws, compressors, grinders and site leads that need a short retest cycle. AS/NZS 3012 is the construction site guidance, and tools are tested on the section where they are working.
Lake Pegasus hosts regional and national events such as triathlons, dragon boat regattas and sailing. Event days bring temporary power to the lakeside: timing equipment, PA systems, food stalls and lighting, all running on leads laid across damp grass near the water. Outlets supplying that equipment should be RCD protected, and organisers often ask for tags on every lead and appliance before set-up. Gear that is stored between events is best tested shortly before it comes back out.
The Pegasus Golf and Sports Club and the Pegasus Community Centre are the town's main shared buildings, with clubroom kitchens, bar fridges, heaters, sound systems and maintenance tools. Pegasus Bay School adds classroom devices and staffroom appliances. Because the whole town is so recent, many premises have never had a first test round, and that baseline is the obvious place to start. Clubs can keep the register with their other compliance records, ready for the committee or an insurer to see.
Local tip: Lake Pegasus event organisers can test their own leads and PA gear a week before an event, leaving time to replace anything that fails.

Test and Tag Pegasus FAQs
Does equipment used at Lake Pegasus events need RCD protection?
Yes. Gear powered outdoors near water should always run through an RCD, and the leads and appliances themselves should carry current tags.
What happens when an item fails?
It is taken out of use, labelled as failed and listed in your register. We can repair or replace plugs and leads, or you can replace the item yourself.
How often does equipment in Pegasus need testing?
It depends on the type of equipment and how it is used. Site and workshop gear needs testing more often than office equipment, and we set the intervals with you.
