TechSafe have been engaged to carry out this electrical survey to confirm the arrangement of the Main Switchboard, Meter Panels & Meter Panel Isolators, to allow for the installation of a new NBN supply meter, circuit control and protection and a new NBN Distribution Board if required. All other works such as penetrations, cable runs, site over view drawings are provided by others.

Safe Electrical Work Requirements: The Electrical Contractor is required to ensure all electrical work is installed and certified to maintain strict compliance with the relevant Statutory requirements including but not limited to the Victorian Electricity Safety Act 1998, Electricity Safety (Installations) Regulations 1999, AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules and associated Australian Standards and Industry Codes of Practice. Prior to the commencement of any site electrical work, the Electrical Contractor must complete a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) in conjunction with a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) or similar risk assessment process.
