Electrical Work - Cables and Wiring

The Electrical Work – Cables and Wiring Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) outlines the main hazards and risks associated with the installation of electrical cable and wiring in residential, commercial and industrial premises including hazardous manual tasks, risk of falls, and working in enclosed work areas. The SWMS provided details of the health and safety precautions (including personal protection) to be observed when installing electrical cables and wiring. (Note: Due to significant variations in Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) requirements between states and territories, reference to regulations, codes of practice and guidance material in each jurisdiction is recommended.)
