Why you need testing

Business owners and management in Australia have both an obligation and a duty of care to update, maintain and replace electrical items and accessories as part of providing a safe work place for their employees. The risk of an electrical incident due to lack of testing and maintenance is too great to ignore.

It is in the interest of organisations to utilise and be able to rely on on-going and effective functioning of appliances, plant and electrical systems. All equipment must be evaluated for potential risks to health and safety and kept in a condition that does not create a further risk. The risk of inefficiencies and disturbance to business operations due to lack of testing and maintenance is also too great to ignore.

The following Commonwealth and State OHS Authorities regulations must be adhered to:

  • Standards Australian AS/NZS 3760: Latest standard
  • SA: Work Cover Corporation of South Australia
