sec.95 Requirement for approved safety switch or permanent marking for electrical circuits

A person conducting a business or undertaking must, before the start of the installation in a building of electrically conductive ceiling insulation, obtain a certificate from a licensed electrical contractor stating that— an approved safety switch has been installed on each capable circuit located in the ceiling structure of the building; and each non-capable circuit located in the ceiling structure of the building is identified and clearly marked. ES Act — section 30 (see section 8 ) For subsection (1) (b) , a non-capable circuit is clearly marked only if the non-capable circuit is permanently marked— in a way that distinguishes the non-capable circuit from capable circuits located in the ceiling structure; and at intervals of not more than 1m, to the extent that it is reasonably practicable. The certificate mentioned in subsection (1) must explain the way in which non-capable circuits located in the ceiling structure have been permanently marked to distinguish them from capable circuits located in the ceiling structure. If a non-capable circuit has been marked with durable high visibility tags, the certificate must explain this. The person conducting a business or undertaking must keep the certificate mentioned in subsection (1) for at least 5 years after the person is given the certificate. Maximum penalty—20 penalty units. In this section— capable circuit means an electrical circuit on which an approved safety switch is capable of effective operation. (sec.95-ssec.1) A person conducting a business or undertaking must, before the start of the installation in a building of electrically conductive ceiling insulation, obtain a certificate from a licensed electrical contractor stating that— an approved safety switch has been installed on each capable circuit located in the ceiling structure of the building; and each non-capable circuit located in the ceiling structure of the building is identified and clearly marked. ES Act — section 30 (see section 8 ) (sec.95-ssec.2) For subsection (1) (b) , a non-capable circuit is clearly marked only if the non-capable circuit is permanently marked— in a way that distinguishes the non-capable circuit from capable circuits located in the ceiling structure; and at intervals of not more than 1m, to the extent that it is reasonably practicable. (sec.95-ssec.3) The certificate mentioned in subsection (1) must explain the way in which non-capable circuits located in the ceiling structure have been permanently marked to distinguish them from capable circuits located in the ceiling structure. If a non-capable circuit has been marked with durable high visibility tags, the certificate must explain this. (sec.95-ssec.4) The person conducting a business or undertaking must keep the certificate mentioned in subsection (1) for at least 5 years after the person is given the certificate. Maximum penalty—20 penalty units. (sec.95-ssec.5) In this section— capable circuit means an electrical circuit on which an approved safety switch is capable of effective operation.
