Reminder: Register of licensed electrical workers

Are you keeping a register of your licensed electrical workers?

If you are a licensed electrical contractor in Queensland, you are legally required to keep an up-to-date register of your licensed workers.

Under Section 57AB of the Electrical Safety Act 2002 and Section 67 of the Electrical Safety Regulation 2013, every electrical contractor must maintain a register that includes the following key details of each electrical worker:

• The name of the worker and licence number (or identifier if it’s an external licence)
• the class of licence
• if it’s a restricted electrical work licence – the type of electrical work stated on the licence.
• any conditions or restrictions listed on the licence
• the day the licence expires
• if it’s an external licence – the jurisdiction where it was issued.

The register must be:

• kept up-to-date
• available for inspection by the regulator or an inspector at any time.
