Construction & Building Sites
High-Risk Sites Need More Than a Sticker
On a building site, the risks are real, and the rules are strict. WorkSafe Victoria requires electrical equipment on construction sites to be tested every three months, not annually, like in a low-risk office. That’s quarterly visits, proper records, and tags that tell your team exactly when each piece of gear is next due. Most sites we visit have at least a handful of items that are overdue or improperly tagged. It’s not negligence; it just slips through when no one’s tracking it.
We turn up on site, work through every power tool, lead, RCD, and piece of electrical equipment systematically, and have the full itemised report ready before we pack up. Your site supervisor gets a digital certificate that they can pull out instantly if WorkSafe walks through the gate. We know how construction sites run; we’re not going to get in the way of your crew or hold up the job.
FAQs
Construction & Building Sites FAQs
How often does electrical equipment need to be tested in Melbourne construction site?
Every three months. AS/NZS 3760 sets the testing interval for construction environments at 3 months, shorter than most other industries because of the higher wear and tear on equipment. If you’re unsure when your last test was done, that’s usually a sign you’re already overdue.
Do you test RCDs on construction sites as well?
Yes, and it’s just as important as the appliance testing. RCDs on construction sites need to be trip-time tested regularly to confirm they’ll respond correctly in a fault situation. A safety switch that hasn’t been tested might look fine, but fail exactly when you need it. We test them on every visit.
Can you come out while the site is still active?
Absolutely. We work around your crew and your schedule, testing tools as workers finish with them, moving through the site without disrupting the job. We work around your crew; tools get tested as workers move through their day.
What happens if a tool or lead fails the test?
It gets a fail tag and comes out of service immediately. We document every failed item in your report with the reason it failed, so your site supervisor knows exactly what needs to be repaired or replaced before it goes back into use. Nothing gets glossed over.
Do you provide documentation we can show WorkSafe inspectors?
Every job comes with a full compliance certificate and itemised digital report, covering every item tested, the result, the test date, and when it’s next due. It’s exactly what a WorkSafe inspector will ask for, and it’s in your inbox the same day we test.
