In many office work places employers have given little thought to the potential risk to which their employees may be exposed because, after all, an office isn't like a building site… there are no apparent dangers. And yet, every time one of your employees uses an extension cord, plugs in a lap top or switches on the jug in the kitchen you are exposing them to risk, and you to prosecution. It is now law that employers must ensure that their workplaces are safe for staff. That means that employers must remove any factors in the work environment that may have the potential to cause problems, no matter how slight the potential danger may appear. Electrical Safety Testing and Tagging WorkSafe Victoria, says your employees could be using portable equipment and electrical safety leads that are electrically faulty or damaged. The risk is that they may suffer electrical shock, which could result in a workplace accident that could potentially cause death. Quite simply you are required to maintain a safe workplace environment by identifying any risks and eliminating them as much as possible by performing electrical testing regularly. When it comes to electrical safety gear in your office the best precaution you can take is to have it tested by a competent person who is qualified to inspect, test and assess your equipment to ensure its safety. Being able to demonstrate your "Duty of Care" in this area is achieved by your ability to show a history of regular testing of your portable electrical appliance testing, leads and power boards.
