What does a commercial electrician do?
A commercial electrician handles the design, installation, repair, and maintenance of electrical systems in commercial buildings such as offices, retail shops, warehouses, schools, and more. This includes power distribution, lighting, data cabling, switchboard upgrades, and ensuring the system complies with building and safety regulations. Unlike residential work, commercial electrical projects often involve higher voltage systems, more complex layouts, and require knowledge of industry-specific standards.
How often should commercial electrical systems be inspected?
Routine inspections are typically recommended every 12 months for most commercial properties. However, high-usage environments such as industrial facilities or venues with heavy machinery may require more frequent checks. Regular inspections ensure systems remain safe, efficient, and compliant with current standards. This also helps identify potential problems before they escalate into costly failures or workplace hazards.
What is test and tag, and is it necessary for businesses?
Test and tag is the process of inspecting and testing electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. It involves visually checking the equipment, electrically testing it with a portable appliance tester, and tagging it with the test date and next due date. In Australia, it's a legal requirement in many industries, particularly in construction, manufacturing, and places with a high risk of electrical hazards. It helps reduce workplace accidents and maintains compliance with Work Health and Safety (WHS) law.
