🔌 Understanding PAT Testing for Workplace Safety Formerly known as In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment, PAT Testing ensures electrical appliances are safe for use or need maintenance or replacement. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, both employers and employees must ensure the safety of all workplace users. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 further require employers to provide suitable equipment. Inspection frequency varies by equipment type and environment, underscoring the importance of regular checks.

🔩 Take Care With Compressed Air: Essential Safety Meeting Kit 🔩 Compressed air is a critical tool on construction sites and production lines, but it comes with significant risks if not handled properly. This meeting kit will help you understand the dangers and how to mitigate them. What's at Stake: 🚧 Compressed air assists in various tasks, from removing to installing refractories, but without proper safety measures and training, it can cause severe injuries. The Dangers Include: 🧯 Projected Particles: Dust, oil, and other substances can cause eye, ear, or face injuries. ⚠️ Whipping Hose: Sudden release of air can turn hoses into dangerous whips. 💥 Air Contact: Direct contact can cut skin or cause serious internal injuries. 🔧 Tool Failure: Poor maintenance can lead to tool explosions. 🔊 Noise Exposure: High noise levels can cause hearing damage. 🌫️ Chemical Risks: Dispersed particles and oil mists can create hazardous environments. Best Safety Guidelines: 🛠️ Regular Equipment Inspections: Ensure all equipment is in good working condition. 📚 Proper Training: Only trained and competent employees should operate compressed air machines. 🪛 Hose Management: Keep hoses free of cracks, damage, and away from grease and oil. 🔗 Secure Connections: Prevent accidental disconnections and hose whipping. 🥽 Proper PPE: Always wear eye and hearing protection. Compressed air is essential but potentially dangerous.

"Today, let's shine a light on the importance of hand-held electrical equipment safety in the workplace. Providing thorough training to all employees on the proper usage of equipment can significantly reduce the risk of accidents. Personal Protective equipment as the last control measure on the hierarchy of controls must always be worn appropriately when using these machines. Regular maintenance schedules should be in place to ensure that tools are in top condition. Remember, following safety protocols is not just a recommendation; it's a must for a secure work environment. Let's empower our teams to prioritize safety every day! #WorkplaceSafety #ElectricalSafety"

A Mobile Equipment People Interface (MEPI) safety campaign is underway, targeting workers to enhance their understanding of safe interactions with mobile equipment on construction sites. The campaign's primary objective is to educate and train workers to minimize risks associated with accidents occurring due to the close operation of workers and heavy machinery. Safety matters! #WorkplaceSafety #ConstructionSafety 🚧

Machinery Guarding Is your machinery guarding compliant to regulation 208 of the Western Australian Work Health and Safety (General or Mines) Regulations? Failure to comply with the regulation can result in a fine of $7,000 for and individual or $35,000 for a company. If you are unsure if your machinery or plant guarding is compliant, why not have Safety Resources Australia undertake a guarding assessment of your workplace plant. By doing so any non compliance can be rectified in order to reduce operational risk. If all compliant then you will be safe knowing that is so. Regretfully, the guarding on many items of imported plant, do not comply with our regulatory requirements. Thus, even brand new machines can be non compliant to machinery safe guarding requirements. Why not contact Safety Resources Australia today to book your workplace machinery safe guarding assessment and report.
