Document Summary

This document provides a comprehensive Electrical Safety Checklist for workplaces, designed to ensure compliance with electrical safety standards. Key areas covered include the condition and accessibility of electrical switchboards, the proper operation and labeling of switches, and the use of Residual Current Devices (RCDs) for protection. It also assesses the safety and functionality of power points, switches, light fittings, and power tools, including their plugs, leads, and operating conditions.

The checklist mandates regular inspection, tagging, and maintenance of electrical equipment, ensuring faulty items are reported, tagged, and referred to qualified personnel for repair. Specific procedures for work on or near electrical installations, such as isolation, training, and hazard control for overhead power lines, are emphasized. This systematic approach promotes workplace safety and mitigates electrical hazards.
