compliance does not have to be an expensive, difficult chore
the best way is to buy good, easy to use apparatus and do it yourself
DIY is much cheaper than having someone do it for you
DIY is more reliable than having someone do it for you because you keep the records yourself and manage the test intervals and the movement of appliances in your workplace
test records can easily be created and managed by anyone with reasonable knowledge of Microsoft Excel
the Regulations only require a ‘Competent Person’ to do the testing
many TAFE Colleges and Registered Training Organizations (such as the Master Builders Association) conduct short training courses which will teach ‘competence’. No specialized electrical or technical knowledge is required
the SafeWork or Workcover departments in each state will provide workplaces with information on the Regulations and record keeping requirements
