Do You Have An Electrical Maintenance Plan?

Avoid putting yourself and others at risk because you didn’t know your electrical safety standards and obligations

Every electrical installation, whether it’s for a commercial shop, business or home, should have the most up-to-date safety equipment to protect you as an owner. This can help eliminate potential electrical hazards, extend the lifespan of electrical equipment and ensure safe power consumption in your home or work place.

Having an electrical maintenance plan is the smartest way to ensure the safety of your workplace or home

In such a plan inspection processes are put in place, correct testing equipment are used to identify the condition of the installation and prevent future problems. All equipment is tested and checked to prolong life and ensure safe operation.

Every Property has a need for an electrical maintenance plan to prevent against death , damage or injury to both persons and property. Every electrical installation should be equiped with suitable safety equipment (RCD’s, smoke alarms, surge protectors and circuit breakers) and meet the AS/NZS 3000 electrical safety standard to ensure that your safety and protection is in place.

Your home or business premises plan should detail the identified frequency of each device in the area, as well as:

• Smoke alarms
• RCD Testing
• An internal wiring test
• Switch board Testing
• Hot spot testing
• Current draw testing
• Earth electrode testing
• Tool and equipment testing
• Tagging and recording

Every plan should included the frequency of recommended testing intervals, possible hazards that you should be aware of and action required to prevent breakdown.
