I HAVE COMPLETED A TRAINING COURSE TO USE A PAT TESTER. AM I REQUIRED TO UNDERTAKE REFRESHER TRAINING OR HAVE MY PAPERWORK RENEWED EACH YEAR?
WorkCover does not require a competent person who has completed a PAT training course to undertake refresher training or have their Statement of Attainment or Certificate renewed each year. If you have completed testing and tagging training, you should ensure that you maintain your level of competency via regular on-the-job application of learnt skills, and through the inspections and tests outlined in the Standard, AS/NZS 3760. Your competency levels may need to be periodically updated following technological advances in both testing instrumentation, and the electrical equipment that is being inspected and tested. The decision on the competence or otherwise of a competent person rests with the employer, who must make sure that the person is competent to perform the inspection and testing tasks required by the Standard, AS/NZS3760.
