RCD AND EARTH LEAKAGE DEVICE TESTING 

Residual Current Devices (RCDs) play a crucial role in electrical safety as they are able to swiftly disconnect power upon detecting electrical faults, minimising the risk of electric shocks in your workplace. 

Regular RCD testing is essential to ensure their functionality and compliance, to identify potential issues (allowing for timely repairs or replacements), and to prevent potential hazards. Western Australian regulations require RCDs to be tested at regular intervals – depending on the environment and the nature of the electrical equipment, testing is typically required every three months to every year. 

The testing process involves visual inspections for physical damage and wear, and functionality tests that trigger the RCD to confirm proper disconnection time and current. Only qualified individuals with expertise in electrical safety, testing procedures, and relevant standards should conduct RCD testing. On Site Compliant owns market leading test equipment with a stringent calibration register ensuring accurate results.

PORTABLE APPLIANCE TESTING (PAT)

Portable appliance testing (PAT) is essential for workplace electrical safety, reducing the risk of accidents, injuries, and property damage due to faulty or unsafe equipment. It also ensures compliance with standards and regulations. 

In Western Australia, the testing of portable appliances is governed by the Electrical Safety Act 2002 and Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations 2019, which mandate the frequency of testing based on equipment class, workplace, and usage (high risk tools may require more frequent testing).The testing process includes visual inspections for physical damage, wear, insulation, and loose connections, along with electrical tests for earth continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity. On Site Compliant has invested in state of the art testing equipment to ensure portable appliances of all types can be accurately tested for compliance.

THERMAL IMAGING INSPECTIONS 

Thermal imaging electrical equipment (used to detect heat anomalies in electrical systems) plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficient operation of such systems. 

This equipment identifies potential faults and failures before they escalate into hazards – reducing downtime, improving maintenance strategies, and enhancing electrical safety. Regulations by organisations like the EnergySafety division of the DMIRS focus on the safe deployment, calibration, and training related to thermal imaging electrical equipment to ensure the highest level of electrical safety and prevent any potential mishaps.

Technicians must be qualified and trained; equipment should be calibrated regularly with proper maintenance carried out; comprehensive reporting is essential; and thermal imaging electrical equipment must also comply with other electrical safety regulations.

FIRE EQUIPMENT TESTING AND MAINTENANCE

The testing of fire equipment such as fire extinguishers, fire blankets, and fire hose reels is of utmost importance to secure public safety and protect properties in the event of a fire. Compliance with standards, as well as Western Australian regulations such as the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1984, the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations 1996, and the Building Code of Australia ensures that fire equipment is regularly tested and maintained to meet specific standards. Regular testing identifies any faults with these devices, ensuring their readiness in emergencies. 

Only qualified technicians with relevant certifications should conduct the testing to ensure that all procedures are performed accurately and in accordance with the required standards and regulations. 

STANDARDS AS/NZS 1851-2012 (Routine service of fire protection systems and equipment) provides guidelines for service and maintenance procedures and specifies the frequency of testing for extinguishers, hose reels, and fire blankets.

LIFTING EQUIPMENT INSPECTIONS 

Our rigorous inspection and testing procedures cover lifting equipment, the likes of slings, shackles and lifting chains. Through visual verification of their integrity, we ensure their safe and efficient operation. 

We meticulously document the inspection findings into a comprehensive report and provide certification for compliant equipment, prioritising safety and compliance in all aspects of our services.

PORTABLE LADDER INSPECTION AND TESTING 

Regular ladder inspections are crucial to identify and rectify any defects or damage that might lead to malfunctions or breakage. A qualified individual should inspect ladders for visible defects before each use to ensure their safety. During use, ladders may be exposed to conditions that could compromise their integrity, rendering them unsafe. 

Conducting tests on portable ladders can significantly reduce the risk of failures caused by abuse, overloading, normal wear, or exposure to heat. This proactive approach helps maintain the safety and reliability of ladders in various working conditions. In the inspection procedure, On Site Compliant assigns identification numbers to ladders and establishes a registry encompassing all ladders.

This systematic approach aids in asset management and facilitates periodic inspection and testing.

FALL ARREST EQUIPMENT INSPECTION AND TESTING 

Ensuring the safety of workers at heights is imperative, emphasising the critical role of fall arrest equipment inspections in compliance with stringent standards. Mandated by regulatory bodies like WorkSafe Western Australia, these inspections are fundamental for maintaining optimal working conditions, proactively identifying potential hazards, and mitigating the risk of equipment failure during fall incidents. 

Such inspections are integral to a systematic approach to fall protection, reflecting a commitment to risk management, due diligence, and the cultivation of a safety focused workplace culture. By adhering to these standards and conducting routine inspections, businesses not only fulfill legal obligations but also contribute to a safer working environment, prioritizing the well-being of employees at all times. 

STANDARDS AS/NZS 1891.4:2009

EMERGENCY AND EXIT LIGHT TESTING 

Ensuring the safety of occupants during emergencies is paramount, underscoring the critical importance of regular testing for emergency and exit lighting systems. Compliance with standards is both a legal obligation and a fundamental responsibility to safeguard lives and property. 

Emergency and exit lighting play a vital role in guiding occupants to safety during power outages or emergencies. Routine testing is essential to verify operational functionality, identify potential faults, and address issues such as battery deterioration or lamp failures.

Adhering to testing requirements not only ensures legal compliance but also contributes to building safety and emergency preparedness, ultimately enhancing the overall well-being of individuals within the built environment.
