• Welcome to the training side of your electrical audit.
• Today we are going to run through some of the Workplace Health and Safety issues you need to be aware of and encounter in your daily activities.
If the customer requests that live work be carried out because it is in the interests of safety or there is no other reasonable alternative, contact your Safety officer for the correct procedure to
follow.

!!!!
Under no circumstances admit fault. If injured or vehicle damaged in excess of $1000, stay at scene till police arrive.
Prioritise part 1 incidents + Notify Supervisor + Any insurance requirements
Insurance Supervisor & person involved, collect information for insurance company (What/how it happened, who was involved, sketch of streets and vehicles relationships) Supervisor to notify relevant Admin Manager (Sue or Robyn)
Supervisor to contact Allianz who have a very efficient claims process and need to take the following steps: 1. Telephone 131 000 2. Follow the prompts – you need to go to the commercial motor enquiries 3. Once you are through to the right department, quote your policy number 41-1180989VFT 4. The Allianz claims officer will then advise you of where to go to have the car repaired and also provide you with a claim number.
Site Incident Report

RISK ASSESSMENT
Person completing form:
If no reference number, provide brief description of Job request and location:
Step 1 – IDENTIFY HAZARDS or RISKS OTHER HAZARDS
Potential Hazards or Risks Yes No Int. Risk
Resid.Risk Int.
Risk Resid.Risk
Could I be hit by moving vehicles or be caught in moving machinery?
Is there Access/egress, slip or trip issues? Is there excessive manual handling? Eg excessive lifting, pushing or pulling? Can the public or other workers at risk by accessing the work area? Am I going to be working above 1.8m? (Is a Permit required?) Is there excessive noise?
Can I be overcome due to dust, fumes or exhaust?
Step 2 - RISK SCORE CALCULATOR
What is the Likelihood? Will I be working in a confined space? Eg roofs, ceilings, pits? Is a Confined Space Permit needed?
Will I be working with Asbestos? Is a Permit Required?
Could I cause a fire by cutting, drilling, grinding welding etc? Do I need a Hot Work Permit?
What is the Consequence
Very likely Could
happen any time
Likely Could
happen some time
Unlikely Could
happen but very rarely
Very unlikely Could but probably never will
Could there be a gas release, eg LPG, ammonia, chlorine, Ozone, dust or other fumes?
Fatality, loss of body function,
hospitalisation or serious damage

Is there Electrical Testing and Fault Finding work?
Lost time injury or significant damage 1 2 3 4
Is it possible to accidentally come into contact with overhead power lines?

Are there aggressive animals such as dogs within the work area?
Will I be digging, trenching or excavating? Potential contact with gas, electrical, telecommunications
Is there enough light to complete the task safely?
1 = Urgent –For hazards with a residual score of 1, conduct a joint JSA with supervisor and implement. 2 = High Priority –For a residual score of 2, conduct a JSA and implement control steps and measures. 3 = Medium Priority - For a residual score of 3, ensure the control measures identified are implemented. 4 = Low Priority –For a residual score of 4, the hazard may not need further action than the control identified., 5 & 6 = Monitor Risk – Continue to monitor the risk
If a Hazard or Risk is identified and simple Control Measures can be implemented to effectively control the hazard/risk, then circle the appropriate Control Measure and outline residual risk score.
Step 3 - SIMPLE CONTROL MEASURES Put up warning signs Yes / No Remove all jewellery Yes / No Wear insulated gloves Yes / No Put up traffic signals & sign Yes / No Use rubber mat Yes / No Wear safety glasses Yes / No Wear a hard hat Yes / No Wear a breathing mask Yes / No Use an extractor fan Yes / No Wear ear protection Yes / No Barricade & close off area Yes / No Isolate, lock & tag Yes / No
Provide temporary lights Yes / No Use appropriate mechanical devices
Yes / No Have a Safety Observer with a rescue kit on hand
Yes / No Wear Protective clothing Yes / No
OTHER CONTROL MEASURES Refer to a safe work procedure Yes / No Yes / No Yes / No Yes / No Yes / No Yes / No Yes / No Yes / No
TESTING PROCEDURES – Generic TICK AS TESTED
VISUAL INSPECTION
1. Check against plan that all gpo’s, switches and light fittings have been fitted. 2. Check that correct raiser bracket (for overhead supply) and mains box are fitted. 3. Check switchboard markings are correct. 4. Check circuit breaker rating does not exceed current carrying capacity of cables. 5. Check main earth connection 6 Back fill trenches and apply marking tape 7 Check clearance on down lights
EARTH CONTINUITY TESTING (Isolate Supply & Remove MEN Link)1. Test continuity between main earth electrode and main earth in switchboards. 2. Test for possible short circuits between main earth & active and neutral conductors. 3. Continuity between the main earth conductor at switchboard and bonded water pipe, and all light fittings, gpo earths and metal surfaces.
MEGGA TEST INSULATION RESISTANCE1. With main switch on - Test insulation resistance between main earth and main active and Main neutral conductor (only if supply can be isolated). Reading: ………………. MΩ
2. With all switches on - Test insulation resistance between main earth and neutral and main earth and active of all out going circuits. Reading: ………………. MΩ POLARITY TESTING (with Supply Available)1. Check for correct polarity active neutral, and final sub cct’s FAULT LOOP IMPEDANCE TEST RCD protected cct’s test by pressing test button and check trip using RCD/polarity tester
Non RCD cct’s- see compliance certificate readings and check that circuits comply. Hot water 2.5mm active 2.5mm earth 20A type C breaker R phe = 1.00ohm Stove 4mm active 2.5mm earth 25A type C breaker R phe = .8 ohms
LIVE TEST1. Energise power circuits and test one circuit at a time, check each outlet for continuity and polarity. 2. Check each light is switched individually. 3. Check wall oven, hot plates and hot water. (Check wall oven is free of any plastic or packing material prior to testing, ensure hot water system is filled with water prior to testing)
FINAL EXAMINATION1. Ensure MEN link is connected. 2. Ensure main earth and main neutral is connected. 3. Bridge HWS. 4. Check neutral corresponds with active conductors at neutral link. 5. Trip test for RCD’s, 6. Overhead Mains Feed:
Ensure relevant meter wiring is connected to line side of main switches and any circuit not safe is not connected and isolated electrically.
