Legal Obligations in Workplace Safety

​

Employers and individuals responsible for workplaces across Australia carry a shared duty of care under health and safety laws, obligating them to ensure a secure work environment. WorkCover legislation, particularly concerning electrical safety, places this responsibility squarely on the employer, with no exemptions for any employer or principal.

​

Australian Standard AS/NZS 3760

​

AS/NZS 3760, established by Standards Australia, outlines the prescribed approach for inspecting and testing electrical equipment to maintain a safe working environment. The standard emphasizes the crucial need for regular inspection and testing of all electrical equipment within the workplace. Commonly known as Testing and Tagging in the industry, this process is essential for ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
