Compliant safe power boards for use on construction sites

Safe power boardsAre you a Tradie working on a Job Site?
Then you need to be aware of the Risks to avoid Electrocution!

Are your current power boards compliant for use on construction sites? – The Guardian is!

“My Duty as a Safety Advisor is to inform you as to what is the safest and most practical device to work with portable power tools in a range of weather conditions on construction sites.”  Ross Broadfoot

What you need to have currently in addition to your general Safety Policy are these documents:

  1. S.W.M.S. (Safe Work Method Statement): That shows the work steps on site that involve the use of tools that you will use to complete contracted work.
  2. S.O.P.s (Safe Operating Procedures): That explains the use of an individual tool and knowledge of basic operation of how the tool works.
  3. Additional tutorial information /training pitched at the User Level to help Worker Safety.
  4. As the ‘PCBU’ /Owner/Director/Site Supervisor, you have to have instructed your ‘Workers’ on  the basics of understanding  hazards and writing & recording ‘Site Specific’ risk analysis that forms part of your S.W.M.S. (Safe Work Method Statement):

Did you know that older RCD boards will not protect you on most portable generators?
