  • Safe Work Method Statement

    SWMS Electrical Testing

     

    Safe work method statement SWMS for the inspection and testing of electrical installations: 

     

    • Provides critical WHS information and safety instructions for workers to undertake electrical installation testing without risk to health and safety
    • Ensures workers can identify hazards and manage risks involved with testing an electrical installation 
    • Provides workers with information, instruction, and training for the inspection, testing and commissioning of an electrical installation 

     

    Electrical Commissioning SWMS

     

    SWMS document for electrical installations testing focuses on hazard identification, risk assessment and control procedures per best practice guidelines for how to write a SWMS. 

     

    • Electrical testing and commissioning safety for how to test an electrical installation per risk assessment for electrical testing and commissioning

     

    Electrical Testing SWMS Content 

     

    SWMS are specific to a process with the SWMS content of the electrical testing SWMS addressing the health and safety issues relating to: 

     

    • WHS Consultation 
    • Risk assessment of workplace
    • Health and safety planning
    • Environmental hazards in the workplace
    • Implementation of controls for the inspection and testing of electrical installations
    • Health and safety information for employees to manage risks with the inspection and testing of electrical installations
    • Pre operational checks on electrical testing equipment, e.g. live electrical tester used in electrical installation testing procedures
    • Insulated tools, e.g. electrical installation tester for testing an electrical installation
    • Electrical commissioning plan that identifies commissioning safety hazards with the testing and commissioning of electrical installations and provides procedures for testing and commissioning of electrical equipment, e.g. sequence of testing electrical installation and testing and verification of electrical installations 
    • Working near live electrical equipment requires electrical safety isolation procedures
    • Contact with energised electrical equipment resulting in electrocution and electrical shock
    • Electrical spotter to warn persons working in the vicinity of energised electrical equipment, e.g. electrical hazards
    • Working live per safety procedures for working on electrical equipment
    • Visually inspect the electrical installation by an electrical worker to ensure it complies with electrical testing and commissioning standards
    • Testing of switchgear per a switchgear testing procedure and switchgear testing requirements
    • Electrical wiring testing and commissioning
    • Test and commission electrical wiring in connection with an electrical installation per electrical standards and electrical wiring safety guidelines
    • Procedures for testing and commissioning of electrical equipment, e.g. electrical control equipment
    • Test and commission earthing system per testing and commissioning procedures for earthing systems
    • Lighting control system testing and commissioning per procedures for testing and commissioning of lighting control system
    • Electrical functional testing to simulate all possible inputs, e.g. electrical installation testing sequence
    • Record the results of electrical testing and commissioning results in the workplace electrical register
    • Managing risks of hazardous chemicals in the workplace 
    • Hazardous manual handling tasks 
    • PPE requirements for testing and commissioning of electrical installations
    • Health and safety training for workers 
    • Workplace housekeeping 
    • Legislative and regulatory requirements 
    • Monitoring compliance in the workplace 
    • Includes risk matrix table    

     

    WHS Reporting Requirements 

     

    WHS Record keeping and reporting obligations for compliance with WHS legislative requirements for a SWMS require a person conducting a business or undertaking PCBU to maintain WHS records. 

     

    A PCBU must retain health and safety records for an electrical testing SWMS, which would include: 

     

    • Risk assessment form template to record unidentified hazards, potential risks and specific control measures
    • Change control management form for the communication of controls to be implemented for identified hazards 
    • SWMS Sign off sheet for high risk construction work activity to which the safe work method statement relates 

     

    Ready to Use Electrical Testing SWMS

     

    Save time and money with the SWMS template for the testing and commissioning of electrical installations. 

     

    SWMS Compliance with Legislative and Regulatory Requirements is simple 

     

    • We embed the business details and logo you supply in the safe work method statement for ensuring compliance with health and safety legislation 
    • We email you the ready to use safe work method statement SWMS 

     

    All you have to do is 

     

    • Complete the principal contractor details or PCBU details 
    • Specify the workplace address to which the SWMS relates
    • Nominate your contact person 
    • Complete WHS/OHS forms used in the workplace, e.g. risk assessment form
