Electrical equipment tagging
With the changing weather upon us, it’s a timely reminder that all electrical equipment brought to the Market – such as heaters – must be tested and tagged by a registered electrical testing company.
All Market users have a responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others, and to comply with Market Operating Rules and the Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) plan.
Electrical safety is a key safety priority within the common and trading areas of the Market.
The following rules aim to minimise the risks associated with electrical hazards including the risks of fires and electrocution:
- Access to electrical switchboards is to be kept clear at all times
- All electrical work is to be undertaken by a qualified electrician
- Double adaptors must not be used – use portable power boards that have individual switches on each outlet.
- Cords and leads are not to be run across floors, doorways, walkways, aisles or anywhere else they could be tripped or ran over.
If there’s any power loss to outlets due to faulty equipment, the user may be back charged.
