Electrical Statutory Signs

Electrical Statutory Signs

Electrical statutory signs are used in Australia to communicate important electrical safety information and instructions in the workplace. These signs are regulated by the Australian Standard AS 1319-1994, which specifies the requirements for safety signs in the workplace. Some common electrical statutory signs include:

-Dangerous Voltage Sign: Indicates the presence of dangerous voltage and warns people to stay away.
-Switch Off Sign: Indicates the requirement to switch off electrical equipment before performing maintenance or repair.
-Earth Sign: Indicates the location of an earth electrode.
-Residual Current Device (RCD) Sign: Indicates the presence of an RCD, which is a device designed to protect against electrical shock.
-Isolation Sign: Indicates the requirement to isolate electrical equipment before performing maintenance or repair.
It's important to ensure that electrical statutory signs are clearly visible, easily understood, and placed in appropriate locations to ensure electrical safety in the workplace.
