Amendment (Electrical Installations)

Regulation 2006

under the

Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000.

JOHN DELLA BOSCA, M.L.C.,

Minister for Commerce

Explanatory note
Prior to the commencement of the Occupational Health and Safety Amendment (Electrical Equipment) Regulation 2006 on 28 April 2006, employers were required by clause 65 (1) of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 to ensure that records be made and kept of all inspections and tests made and maintenance carried out on electrical articles and electrical installations required by Part 4.3 of Chapter 4 of that Regulation.
The Occupational Health and Safety Amendment (Electrical Equipment) Regulation 2006, amongst other things, removed the requirement to make and keep records in relation to electrical installations. The object of this Regulation is to re-instate that requirement.

This Regulation is made under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000, including section 33 (the general regulation-making power).
