RCD Testing Brisbane

All commercial workplaces in QLD are required to have an RCD (Residual Current Device) installed and tested to comply with the current QLD Occupational Health and Safety Act.

RCD devices are sometimes known as earth leakage circuit breakers and are commonly referred to as being safety switches, but an RCD has other features and the correct RCD device must be installed in your workplace.

An RCD switch should monitor the flow of electricity through the circuit it is connected to. If any faults that could lead to electrocution are detected by a functioning RCD, the device will shut off the power to the circuit in milliseconds preventing serious injury caused by electric shock. RCD’s do save lives but they do not completely remove the risk of injury, and a faulty RCD device may not work at all.

Your RCD needs to be tested at regular intervals if your workplace is to comply with the current QLD Work Cover Policies. This procedure is in place to ensure the RCD responds properly to any faulty situation and in the correct time frame. RCD protection is for the safety of your workers.
