Microwave Oven Radiation Testing Services

Our Professional Microwave Oven Radiation Testing Services

At CCS Test & Tag, we provide professional Microwave Oven Radiation Testing Services across Melbourne and Victoria to ensure your workplace remains safe and compliant with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) legislation. Microwave ovens are common in staff kitchens and food preparation areas, but over time, wear and tear can cause dangerous radiation leakage that poses serious health risks.

What is Microwave Oven Radiation?

Microwave ovens generate energy that rapidly vibrates water molecules in food, producing heat to cook meals. While safe when contained, this energy can penetrate living tissue, making radiation leakage harmful to health. Once the oven is switched off, the microwaves stop but during operation, faulty seals or damage can expose users to unsafe levels of radiation.

Causes of Microwave Leakage

Leakage often occurs due to slamming doors, worn hinges, or food particles caught in seals, which prevent the door from closing properly. Even small gaps can allow invisible but dangerous microwaves to escape, potentially causing irreversible harm.

Why Testing is Essential

Microwave leakage testing determines whether your oven has deteriorated to the point where it is unsafe to use. At CCS Test & Tag, our technicians use calibrated equipment to detect radiation leakage and provide clear compliance reports. This service helps businesses meet their duty of care obligations under OHS legislation, which extend beyond standard electrical appliance testing and tagging.

Compliance & Duty of Care

Employers and PCBUs (Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking) are legally responsible for ensuring workplace safety. Regular microwave oven testing is part of these obligations, protecting staff and customers while reducing liability.
