If you’re a licensed electrician or electrical contractor working in Australia, you’ll know how important it is to not only complete your jobs to a high standard, but to keep on top of your filing—especially in terms of those all-important certificates of electrical compliance.
Fortunately, QuickSafety offers a solution here. To gain a better understanding of what our app offers, let’s take a closer look and learn more about its features that will help you do your job better, faster.
Why Electricians and Contractors Need a Convenient, Paperless Filing System
The filing of certificates of electrical compliance is an essential part of the signing off process for electrical work across Australia. However, it’s easy for this critical step to be overlooked when we’re busy working across multiple jobs. Remember that these certificates ensure that the work done is up to current safety standards, which means they shouldn’t be ignored.
So what’s the problem with lost compliance paperwork or failure to comply with Australian safety regulations? Well, it’s illegal, and it can cost electricians up to $550,000.
It’s not just electricians and electrical contractors who are affected. Professional tradesmen working across the construction and mining industries can be affected, too. With all these filing regulations comes another problem—keeping your paperwork organised and secure. Electricians are required by law to hold onto compliance certificates for at least five years (or seven in New Zealand), and failure to do so can result in additional penalties.
This is why it’s so important to have a paperless, convenient system through which to keep track of all your compliance certificates and the work you’ve undertaken.
