STATE AND TERRITORY WORK SAFETY BODIES

Safety of everyone on the worksite is your highest priority and should never be compromised.

It is best to achieve this by implementing suitable safety protocols and training procedures prior to starting the job. Strive to create an environment where everyone feels empowered to raise safety concerns without hesitation.

Below are some guidelines to ensure the safety of all personnel on site:

Ensure that only fully licensed electricians who have undergone induction into an installer’s safety program are assigned licensed tasks.
Participate in the assessment of potential hazards at the onset of each installation, such as working at heights, within ceiling spaces, and when installing battery storage systems.
Ensure that any high-risk activities, such as working near exposed live components, require adherence to a comprehensible Safe Work Method Statement, this should be developed in collaboration with workers to aid understanding and compliance.
