Electrical safety is a critical part of every workplace. Employers and persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) have a duty under Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) legislation to provide and maintain a safe working environment, including ensuring that electrical equipment is safe to use.

Regular inspection and testing of portable electrical appliances, Residual Current Devices (RCDs/Safety Switches) and associated electrical equipment helps identify damaged or faulty equipment before it becomes a safety risk to staff, customers or visitors.

Testing also provides documented evidence that your business is actively maintaining its electrical safety systems and meeting its ongoing compliance responsibilities.

✓ Reduce the risk of electric shock and electrical fires.

✓ Identify damaged or unsafe electrical equipment before an incident occurs.

✓ Maintain accurate compliance records for workplace inspections, audits and insurance requirements.

✓ Assist businesses in meeting their Work Health and Safety (WHS) obligations.

✓ Demonstrate a proactive commitment to workplace safety for employees, contractors and visitors.

✓ Minimise equipment downtime by identifying potential electrical faults early.

✓ Help protect your business from unnecessary risk and potential liability arising from unsafe electrical equipment.

The frequency of testing depends on the type of workplace, how the equipment is used, and the level of risk.

Many commercial workplaces require testing every 6 or 12 months, while lower-risk environments may have longer testing intervals in accordance with the applicable Australian Standards and workplace risk assessment.
