Safety management guidelines

Under Part 5 of the Electrical Safety Act 2002 (PDF, 788 KB) prescribed electrical entities are expected to adopt a safety management system to improve safety performance.

Safety management systems are intended to benefit everyone affected by the electrical safety of an entity’s works: the entity itself, its employees and their families, contractors, businesses, and the community.

Linking identified hazards and risks to business performance criteria provides a key to improving safety outcomes.

The Electrical Safety office has produced a Guide to Safety Management Systems for Prescribed Electrical Entities in collaboration with the entities, relevant unions, Electrical Safety Board, Workplace Health and Safety Queensland and other interested parties.
