Current Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 require that all electrical appliances are checked, tested, and tagged annually by a suitably qualified person. Council is requesting the assistance of all hirers to comply with this legislation.
Any electrical appliance to be used on site must be tagged prior to use.
If clubs are unable to contact an authorised tester, Council will be able to assist by providing details of the two contracted electrical companies utilised by Council.
Upon receipt of confirmation from each hirer, Council staff will carry out site inspections. If any electrical appliances are found to not have tags, the club will be granted 1 week to remove the appliance. Should the club be unable to carry out the removal, Council will arrange for the appliance to be removed with any associated costs passed on to the hirer.
