Does the 4th edition of SafetyMAP cover the testing and tagging of electrical cables, leads and RCDs etc?
While these devices are not specifically mentioned, they would generally be covered by the audit criteria that deals with the inspection and maintenance of plant and equipment, which is 3.10.15 (initial level). Criteria 2.1.2 requires that an organisation’s internal procedures and work practices reflect legislative requirements, standards, codes of practice and guidelines and there is an Australian Standard (AS 3760) that deals with this testing and tagging, and in Victoria there is also an industry standard for electrical safety on construction sites. For further information: SafetyMAP queries: safetymap@worksafe.vic.gov.au.
