Home Electrical Repairs
House electrical repairs are quite often difficult to handle as there is legislation that can prevent you from doing the work yourself; it comes down to learning what is and isn't allowed. If you are renting, there are other rules that landlords and tenants need to follow with electrical work, especially if you want to stay safe from falling foul of Insurance claims. You really need to know what you are doing when doing electrical repairs it’s really important that you keep safe.
“Never do any electrical work unless you are sure you have the skills and knowledge to do the job safely and legally. Accidents, and sometimes fatalities, can occur because people do not know what they are doing. Electrical work can be unsafe and illegal if it’s not done properly.
WorkSafe recommends that if you are in any doubt about doing any electrical work in your home you must use a licensed worker.”
Important
Employers, employees, landlords, tenants and school staff (including caretakers) cannot carry out electrical work in their workplace or any rented property unless they are registered electrical workers and hold current practising licences.
