AS/NZS 3019 sets out the requirements for periodic assessment of existing electrical installations which are connected to a low voltage a.c. supply system (exceeding 50 V a.c. but not exceeding 1 000 V a.c.). Inspection and/or testing is intended, as far as reasonably practicable, to determine whether the installation and all its constituent equipment is in a safe condition for continued use.

Outlines principles, guidelines and procedures for safe work on or near low-voltage and extra-low voltage electrical installations and equipment; provides a minimum set of procedures, safety requirements and recommendations to manage the hazards associated with electricity, specifically arc blast, arc flash, electric shock, and electrocution.

Provides guidance through the lifecycle of an engineered stone product including fabrication, installation, maintenance, removal and disposal.

From 1 October 2020 to 1 April 2021, SafeWork SA undertook a compliance campaign (the campaign) focused on respirable crystalline silica (RCS) in the fabrication, construction, and mining industries; The fabrication industry included persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) using engineered and natural stone (i.e. monumental masons).

This Strategy represents a long-term government commitment to support businesses, industry, workers, and the wider community, and provide a guide to inform agency and departmental activities and compliance systems towards achieving a future free from silica- related diseases.

As a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU), you must protect your workers from breathing in silica dust.
