206 Electrical installation work in patient areas
A person must not install, alter, repair or maintain an electrical installation or a portion of an electrical installation in an area that the person knows or should reasonably be expected to know is a patient area or intended to be a patient area unless the installation or the installed, altered, repaired or maintained portion of the installation complies with AS/NZS 3003.
Regulation 505 deals with the obligation of a person who commissions electrical installation work in a patient area to provide information on the location of patient areas to the contractor or electrician they have commissioned to carry out the work.
