Why take the risk
It is the obligation of all employers under the Work Health and Safety Act 2012 to ensure that the workplace is safe for employees, including electrical safety. One of the most important areas of electrical safety is the regular inspection and testing of electrical appliances to ensure that they comply with the safety requirements set out in the relevant regulation.
All workplaces use a range of electrical equipment to manage and conduct their everyday tasks. Whether you work in an office, kitchen, trade or factory, it is important that the equipment you are using is safe and reliable. Faulty electrical equipment can be detrimental to a business.
