Talk about a marathon month on the road!
May was an absolute whirlwind of testing, tagging, and equipment inspections designed to keep local businesses, construction sites, and care facilities 100% compliant and protected.
From the Mid North Coast of NSW right up to Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, the team have been helping our existing and new customers with their safety needs non-stop.
Here is a look at exactly what went down across the region over the last 4 weeks with the Shock Busters Northern Team:

The month kicked off with a major push keeping local trades compliant under strict AS/NZS 3012 and AS/NZS 3760 standards across Kirra, Coolangatta, and Palm Beach on the Gold Coast in QLD.
From there, customer visits shifted into Broadbeach and Robina for retail and commercial testing, followed by assisting new customers with industrial machinery safety in Ashmore.
Later in the month, the team tackled industrial Test and Tag customer requirements in Ballina and also rushed up to Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast out of business hours to handle urgent test and tag and RCD testing for assisted living sites.
