Electrical work near energised electrical installations or services is explicitly classified as high-risk construction work under WHS Regulations s.291(k). This applies to electrical rough-in, switchboard work, solar panel installation, HVAC systems, and data cabling.
Our electrical/HVAC/solar SWMS pack is one of our largest with 19 documents covering electrical rough-in, switchboard installation and upgrade, solar panel mounting and connection, air conditioning installation, ventilation systems, data and communications cabling, and working in roof spaces. Each document addresses critical hazards including electrocution, arc flash, falls from height during solar and HVAC roof work, and working in confined ceiling spaces.
Key Hazards Covered
- Electrocution from energised installations
- Arc flash and electrical burns
- Falls from height during solar and roof work

Electrical / HVAC / Solar Induction — Common Questions
Is a site induction a legal requirement?
Yes. Under WHS legislation, PCBUs must provide workers with adequate information, training, instruction, and supervision. A documented site induction is the standard way to meet this obligation.
What does a site induction checklist cover?
Our checklists cover site-specific hazards, emergency procedures, PPE requirements, first aid locations, reporting procedures, and trade-specific safety controls.
Do induction checklists include a sign-off register?
Yes. Every induction checklist includes a worker acknowledgment register where workers sign to confirm they have received and understood the induction.
