COURSE OVERVIEW:

Welcome to the Planning Safe Work Activities in Electrotechnology Projects course. This program is designed to provide you with the knowledge and tools to systematically plan safe work activities in line with legal obligations and best practice standards. Effective planning is the foundation of safety in electrical projects, helping to reduce risk, improve efficiency, and ensure compliance with work health and safety legislation.

This course begins by exploring the importance of planning in electrotechnology environments, highlighting how proactive safety planning contributes to hazard prevention, legal compliance, and the wellbeing of all site personnel. The section also discusses the roles and responsibilities of Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBUs), supervisors, and workers in meeting WHS and Electrical Safety legislative duties.

Understanding regulatory requirements is essential for lawful and safe electrical work. This section outlines the key obligations under the WHS Act, Electrical Safety Regulations, and relevant Codes of Practice, offering practical guidance on how to align work practices with Safe Work Australia recommendations and licensing conditions.

Every safe electrical project begins with clearly defining the scope of work. In this section, you’ll learn how to review electrical plans, interpret job documentation, identify stages of the project, and clarify the inclusions, exclusions, and limitations that impact planning and safety.

Before work starts on site, inductions and pre-start planning must be completed. This section covers the importance of site-specific inductions, how to communicate safety protocols to workers, and how to ensure everyone signs onto Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) and understands their responsibilities.

Effective risk assessment is a core component of safety planning. This section explains how to identify task-specific electrical hazards—such as electric shock, arc flash, and fire—evaluate the severity and likelihood of those risks, and apply the hierarchy of control to minimise danger.

Safe Work Method Statements are legally required for many electrical tasks. This section teaches how to develop, structure, and implement SWMS that outline task steps, associated risks, and control measures. You’ll also learn the importance of consultation, signatures, and regular review of these documents.

Job Safety Analysis (JSA) helps break down complex tasks into manageable steps. This section explores how to identify hazards at each stage of the task, apply appropriate controls, and ensure that the work is logically sequenced and understood by everyone involved.

Electrotechnology worksites often involve multiple trades. In this section, you’ll learn how to coordinate activities with plumbers, HVAC technicians, carpenters, and others—avoiding service clashes, managing shared spaces, and ensuring safe sequencing of installation, testing, and commissioning.

All equipment and protective gear must be ready for safe use. This section focuses on selecting the correct PPE for electrical work, inspecting and tagging tools and testing instruments, and ensuring compliance with Australian standards for safety equipment.

Electrical isolation must be planned and executed correctly to avoid deadly risks. This section provides step-by-step guidance on lockout/tagout procedures, including planning isolation points, applying physical locks and tags, and verifying de-energisation before work begins.

Working at heights and in confined spaces requires specific planning. Here, you’ll learn how to identify elevated and restricted work zones, implement fall protection measures, and prepare for confined space entry through permits, gas testing, and emergency rescue planning.

Temporary power is often required during construction. This section explains how to safely set up site power boards, install RCD protection, manage lighting circuits, and ensure temporary systems are maintained to prevent overloads, trip hazards, and electrical fires.

Materials and equipment must be staged with access and safety in mind. This section discusses how to plan the layout of materials, reduce manual handling injuries using aids and trolleys, and ensure walkways and work zones remain clear and hazard-free.

Planning also involves considering the environmental impact of your work. You’ll learn how to minimise dust, noise, and runoff, manage hazardous materials and electrical waste responsibly, and comply with local environmental protection guidelines.

Emergency preparedness is essential. This section teaches how to identify emergency risks specific to electrical work, such as arc flash or fire, develop appropriate response plans, and ensure that all workers know evacuation procedures, muster points, and roles in an emergency.

Once work begins, effective supervision is required to ensure safety plans are followed. This section covers how to assign tasks based on competency, monitor compliance in real-time, and take corrective action when unsafe behaviours or conditions are observed.

Documentation plays a key role in safety planning and accountability. This section outlines how to maintain current versions of SWMS, permits, and risk assessments, record toolbox meetings and inspections, and organise documents for internal and external audits.

Finally, all planning should be subject to review and improvement. This section guides you through conducting post-job reviews, analysing incidents or near misses for lessons learned, and updating safety planning processes to continuously improve outcomes on future projects.

By the end of this course, you will have the skills and understanding required to plan safe, compliant, and efficient electrical work activities—contributing to a safer worksite and a stronger culture of risk prevention in electrotechnology projects.

Each section is complemented with examples to illustrate the concepts and techniques discussed.

Doesn't last long
Size: King (Pack of 1), Size: King (Pack of 1)
I have only had this pillow for 8 month and it is flat and not comfortable anymore. I sent the company an email and they never responded. I do now recommend that you buy this pillow.

The pillows have a chemical smell
Size: King (Pack of 1)
I bought two Marlow pillows a while ago. They are great pillows. The two new Marlow pillows I just purchased have a chemical odor. The manufacture date is Sept. 2024. I have them airing out hoping the smell will dissipate , so far that has not happened.

Simply The Best
Size: King (Pack of 1)
It appears there are more than 1,000 pillows advertised and available all over the Internet. The situation is a comedy routine. If you want a cooling pillow because you're a hot sleeper or if you want a plush pillow for back problems or a combination or neither, it doesn't matter. Be prepared to read 1,000 different advertisements until you start laughing out loud. This is what I did, but I wandered upon this Marlow Pillow system and then trusted the Amazon ratings. And boy am I happy, though a word of caution: if you want the cooling technology to really work you've got to pair this pillow with the Marlow pillow protector. Because Amazon didn't carry the pillow protector I bought it directly from Marlow. And this is the last pillow I'll ever get or need to get. Comfortable like a goose down pillow and yet cool to the touch and cool all night long. So I got lucky; have avoided having to buy multiple pillows; and now am enjoying the heck out of my Marlow King with the Marlow pillow protector. Lastly, this pillow is adjustable with a zipper and it works: you can make it softer or harder with a quick zip. The best pillow out there, by far!

Really good pillow!
Size: King (Pack of 1)
This is the first pillow that I have owned in the last 10 years in which I have not experienced any neck pain. It's the right density, comfort level, and is a high-quality item. I am a side and stomach sleeper. Try this pillow and I think you'll be happy.
