WHS Act 2020 places responsibility in the hands of the PCBU (Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking), previously referred to as the “Responsible Person”.
The WHS Act 2020 stipulates that you have a duty of care under the common law to provide a safe working environment.
As a part of this responsibility all portable electrical appliances should be tested in accordance with the AS/NZS 3760 Standard In-Service Safety Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment and RCD’s. Portable Firefighting Equipment is covered under the Australian Standard; AS 1851: Maintenance of fire protection systems and equipment.
