MICROWAVE TESTING
Microwave Leakage Testing for Workplace Kitchens – Protect Your Team and Ensure Safety
In many New Zealand workplaces, the kitchen is the heart of the office—a space where employees gather to prepare meals, grab a quick coffee, or unwind during breaks. However, the kitchen’s most frequently used appliance—the microwave—can pose hidden dangers if not properly maintained. Regular Microwave Leakage Testing is a crucial step in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of everyone in your workplace.
Over time, heavy usage and wear can cause microwaves to develop leaks that are invisible to the naked eye. These leaks release harmful microwave radiation, which can have serious long-term health implications. To ensure the safety of your employees, it’s essential to have these appliances regularly tested for leakage.
Why Microwave Leakage Testing is Essential for Workplace Safety
Health and Safety Risks: Microwave ovens use non-ionizing radiation to heat food. While this type of radiation is generally safe when contained, any damage to the microwave door seals, hinges, or casing can lead to leakage. Prolonged exposure to microwave radiation can lead to issues such as headaches, fatigue, and in severe cases, even burns. Our leakage tests ensure these appliances are safe and that radiation levels stay well within the permissible limits.
Compliance with Workplace Safety Standards: In New Zealand, businesses are required to maintain a safe working environment, which includes ensuring all electrical appliances are in good condition. Microwaves are often overlooked in routine checks, but they pose a significant risk if left unchecked. Regular microwave leakage testing ensures your business meets workplace health and safety obligations, keeping you compliant with local regulations and standards.
Prevention of Equipment Failures: A microwave that is leaking radiation is often also operating inefficiently, meaning it may not heat food properly or could suddenly fail. Regular inspections help identify potential issues before they become a bigger problem, saving your business money on repairs or replacements.
Peace of Mind: A safe workplace is a happy workplace. Knowing that your kitchen appliances are thoroughly tested and free from radiation leakage gives both employers and employees peace of mind. It fosters a healthy working environment and shows that you are committed to the wellbeing of your staff.
Our Comprehensive Microwave Leakage Testing Process
Our expert team of technicians provides thorough testing to identify any leakage from your microwave ovens. Here’s what you can expect from our service:
- Visual Inspection: We begin with a visual check of your microwave to look for any external signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or rust. We also inspect the door seals, hinges, and latches to ensure they are functioning properly and preventing radiation escape.
- Leakage Detection: Using specialised testing equipment, we measure for any microwave radiation leakage around the appliance. These tools are designed to detect even the smallest leaks, ensuring the radiation emitted is well below the acceptable safety limits.
- Electrical Safety Testing: In addition to leakage testing, we also test the electrical safety of your microwave to make sure it’s operating properly and isn’t posing any fire or electrical shock hazards.
Detailed Reporting and Tagging: After testing is complete, we provide a comprehensive report outlining our findings. If your microwave passes the test, we tag it to indicate that it’s safe for use. If any issues are identified, we provide recommendations for repair or replacement to ensure your kitchen remains compliant and safe.
