It is the
employers responsibility
to make sure all work areas are safe for
employees.
Without this safety injuries can occur,
which can have a damaging effect on
businesses. Productivity, sales, staff
morale & customer satisfaction can suffer
from this. Employers can also face penalties
or even legal action for not providing a
safe working environment. |
|
|
|
So, ask yourself the following
questions! |
|
|
|
 |
Is our workplace electrically safe
and staff aware of the potential
dangers of faulty electrical
equipment ? |
|
. |
|
|
Do we have earth leakage circuit
breaker (RCD) protection on our
circuits to protect us against
potential faults ? |
|
. |
|
|
Is our portable electrical equipment
safe and tested on a regular basis
for continued safety risk management
? |
|
. |
|
|
Are we aware of the liabilities we
may face may face with WorkCover or
other authorities if we do not have
safety practices to protect people
at work from risks to their health
and safety from electrical equipment
? |
|
. |
|
|
Is our equipment being tested to the
‘NEW’ updated AS/NZS 3760
standard ? |
|
|
|
|
If you were UNABLE to answer "Yes"
to ALL of these questions then you
should consider electrical testing. |
