Electrical compliance: before, during and after the job

Electrical compliance: before, during and after the job

This session will help equip Tasmanian electrical contractors, supervisors and business owners with a practical understanding of the legal and compliance requirements they must meet before, during, and after carrying out electrical work. Together we will break down what needs to be in place before sending a worker to site including licence checks, electrical worker registers, CPD compliance, and risk assessments. We’ll then walk through your key obligations during the job, including apprentice supervision, PPE, SWMS reviews and live work consultation. Finally, looking at completion requirements, including mandatory testing prior to energisation and safely managing unfinished work.
