Is Your Work Environment Safe?    
 

To ensure electrical equipment in the workplace is safe, employers are required to regularly inspect, test and maintain all equipment under the Occupational Health & Safety Acts. Employers must also keep a record of all inspections, testing and maintenance of the equipment to Australian Standard AS:3760.

   
    How can I achieve a safe Work Environment for everyone?  
 

Electricity has a great potential to seriously injure and kill. In most circumstances, businesses are unaware of their legal responsibilities in the workplace. Is Your Work Environment Safe? Lonsdale Assist can help you achieve this by testing your electrical appliances in the following order:

• Visually & Physical Inspect the appliance & lead
• Conduct a polarity test to ensure correct wiring
• Insulation Test to ensure no leakage
• Test for Earth continuity and the integrity
• After the above tests are complete and all have passed, the item will then have a compliance test tag attached showing the date tested and next retest date
• A computer generated report for each individual
item tested will be provided as well as a Certificate
of Compliance for your records.

Items that fail will be tagged with a “Danger Do Not Use” tag and will be removed from service to be disposed of or repaired.
