Draft of Test & Tag standard available for comment
Posted on Monday, November 23rd, 2009
The draft of DR 3760, In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment is available to comment on. The closing date for comment on this draft Standard is 12 February 2010.
This draft is a revision of AS/NZS 3760:2003, and specifies procedures for the safety inspection and testing of low voltage single phase and polyphase electrical equipment, connected to the electrical supply by a flexible cord and/or connecting device.
This draft also includes fixed RCDs and portable inverters.
NOTE — Additional requirements for portable generators are covered by AS/NZS 3012.
[Hint: This draft will look VERY much like the final version which will cost you abut $100 to buy, so it's well worth downloading - even if you don't intend to make a comment.]

Vicarious liability & other

Especialy in this game, which has to be potentialy one of the most dangeous, yet we & our leaders are quite adept in applying the basic principles of the 3 D's {Duck, dive 'n disapear}.
You don't have to look too far to pick up upon non compliance, just become a punter & check it out.
