At NWS Services, we specialize in delivering professional Fixed RCD Testing services tailored to your workplace environment. Residual Current Devices (RCDs), also known as safety switches, are critical to protecting employees, customers, and visitors from electrical hazards such as shocks, burns, or even electrocution. Regular RCD testing ensures these devices are functioning correctly and in compliance with Australian Standards, reducing risks and preventing costly downtime caused by unexpected electrical incidents. NWS Services are committed to delivering results far beyond the expectations of an extensive list of satisfied clients whilst adhering to the standards and regulations.
Our testing services adhere to the AS/NZS 3760:2010 and AS/NZS 3012:2010 Standards, ensuring every step is conducted to the highest level of safety and compliance. The testing process includes:
To ensure accuracy and compliance, NWS Services only uses A-Class Electricians to conduct Fixed RCD Testing directly from your switchboard. Alternatively, if necessary, we can conduct testing from General Purpose Outlets (GPOs) connected to the RCD circuit. This flexible approach ensures your workplace remains safe and compliant, no matter the setup.
1. Reducing the Risk of Electrical Incidents:
RCDs are your last line of defense against electrical hazards, quickly disconnecting power in the event of a fault to prevent harm. Faulty or non-functional RCDs can leave your workplace exposed to serious risks, especially in high-risk environments like construction sites or manufacturing facilities.
2. Avoiding Costly Downtime and Business Interruptions:
An untested RCD may fail during critical operations, leading to equipment damage, halted production, or downtime while repairs are arranged. For example, in retail environments, a failed RCD protecting refrigerators or freezers could result in significant product losses. Regular testing ensures your safety switches are reliable and helps avoid disruptions to your business.
3. Staying Ahead of Compliance Requirements:
Non-compliance with AS/NZS 3760:2010 or AS/NZS 3012:2010 standards can lead to regulatory penalties and liability in the event of an electrical incident. Regular RCD testing demonstrates your commitment to workplace safety and keeps you ahead of legal obligations under the OHS Act 2011.
Don’t wait until an electrical incident catches your business off guard. With NWS Services, you can ensure your RCDs are functioning reliably and your workplace is safe, compliant, and efficient. Contact us today to schedule your next RCD testing service and safeguard your operations.
