2 OVERVIEW
Electricity is a critical utility service in today’s business environment and is immensely useful, but it can be 
hazardous to persons and property if not carefully controlled and managed. Over the years many national 
technical and safety standards have been developed to assist the safe control and use of electricity and 
many of these technical standards are referenced (that is, applied and enforced) by legislation. 
The following provides an overview of the principal components of the technical and safety regulatory 
framework relevant to UWA electrical facilities and equipment, and related electrical work activities.
WA general workplace safety legislation administered by the regulator WorkSafe WA: 

Occupational Safety and Health Act 1984 

Occupational Safety and Health Regulations 1996 
WA electrical legislation administered by the regulator Energy
Safety
WA: 

Electricity Act 1945 

Electricity (Licensing) Regulations 1991 

Electricity Regulations 1947 
In summary, the requirements of WA legislation are applicable to academic personnel (e.g. lecturers and 
researchers), students of various levels, personnel that support academic activities (e.g. technicians), 
contractors (and their personnel) engaged by UWA and Campus Management personnel in respect of 
electrical activities which they carry out as part of – 

laboratory activities and/or research work; 

the design, assembly/construction or manufacture of electrical equipment for laboratory and/or 
research work; 

the purchase and/or modification or repair of electrical equipment for office, laboratory and/or 
research work; 

HV and LV electrical installation switching (that is, operational work); 

HV and LV electrical installing (that is, fixed wiring) work; 

ELV, communications and information systems cabling work; and 

Inspection, audit and certification work. 
Note:
HV refers to a voltage > 1000 volts ac or 1500 volts dc 
LV refers to a voltage exceeding ELV but less than HV 
ELV refers to a voltage < 50 volts ac or 120 volts ripple free dc; and 
The Government of Western Australia is considering the adoption of proposed changes to health and safety 
laws. The proposal is based on a federally produced model which is intended to “harmonise” health and 
safety law across all Australian states and territories. Most states have already adopted the harmonised 
“Work Health and Safety Act” whereas Western Australia currently has a draft version under consideration.
This “green bill” was announced during October 2014 to be followed by a three month period of consultation.
The core provisions are based on the harmonised model but some aspects have been modified. 
The next section provides an overview of the statutory requirements contained in the listed existing 
legislation, to the extent considered particularly relevant to electrical safety at UWA.
