Proactive compliance and engagement work 2022-23

This year’s proactive compliance and engagement campaign is underway.

Key focus areas include:

Community safety—promoting electrical safety for the community and vulnerable people on:
- safe operation and maintenance of electrical equipment and installations
- ensuring compliant electrical equipment is supplied to the market
- unlicensed electrical work.
Renewables and high risk—small and large-scale solar, wind farms and high-risk environments including hazardous areas and electricity entity infrastructure.
Electrical contractors and workers—installation standards, licensing, and safe work practices for electrical contractors and their workers.
Construction and demolition—installation standards particularly construction switchboards, wiring protection and isolation. Principal contractor processes for unsafe electrical equipment and working near overhead powerlines will also be a focus area.
Community and industry engagement—electrical safety advice and information for the community and guidance for industry on electrical safety requirements and best practice.
