So far this year, we’ve received five riskware reports about staff and contractors being exposed to electricity and electrical hazards.
These reports highlight that we should all remain vigilant around electrical items, handle items with care, and avoid charging equipment near water sources and other hazards.
Frequently used items, such as phone chargers and mobile electrical devices, should be regularly inspected for obvious signs of damage.
Apply these electrical tips when working on campus or in your home office:
If you notice an electrical defect when on campus, stop using the equipment and seek advice from Facilities Management via Service Central for guidance about what actions to take.
In the event of electrical and other first aid emergencies on campus, follow these four steps:
In the event of an electrical incident in the home, follow Step 1, immediately contact triple zero and turn off the power point (if safe to do so).
Remember to submit reports of electrical, other incidents, or hazards within the online portal riskware and engage your supervisor about complex issue reports.
Incidents, together with work- and learning-related illnesses, will be reviewed for WHS risk by the relevant supervisor.
Work areas should conduct WHS risk assessments about electrical and other hazards whenever the safety issues (hazards and associated WHS risks) and solutions are not immediately obvious and there are no established ways to manage the issues.
