RCDs (Residual Current Devices) are critical for protecting people from electric shock — but only if they function correctly.
Prowire Electrical provides professional RCD testing, reporting, and rectification, helping you maintain compliance,
reduce risk, and support your insurance requirements.
A Residual Current Device (RCD) — also called a safety switch — is your building's protection against electrical shock and electrocution.
But an RCD that has never been tested may not work when you need it.
Under Queensland's Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011, all employers must ensure their RCDs are tested regularly by a licensed, competent electrician, and records must be kept. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties.
RCDs are designed to trip instantly when a fault is detected — but they can fail over time due to:
✔ Wear and tear
✔ Environmental conditions
✔ Electrical faults
✔ Lack of regular testing
We work with clients who need to demonstrate that their electrical systems are being properly maintained.
Our service helps provide:
✔ Documented inspections and reports
✔ Evidence of risk identification
✔ Records of testing and maintenance
✔ Clear documentation for insurance and compliance purposes
Businesses schedule regular RCD testing for several important reasons:
RCDs are designed to disconnect power instantly when a fault is detected. If an RCD fails: It may not trip during a fault and people can be exposed to serious injury or electrocution.
Testing provides a clear record of System condition, testing dates and results. This documentation is important for audits, workplace safery requirements and internal risk management.
Regular testing helps identify non-functioning devices, slow trip times and hidden faults. Early detection allows issues to be fixed before they become serious.
Under workplace safety regulations, businesses are required to ensure electrical systems are safe and properly maintained.
When testing is carried out by a licensed electrical contractor like Prowire, faults can be identified, repaird can be completed
quickly and system can be brought back into compliance faster.
Businesses with multiple sites or complex systems often schedule testing to keep compliance consistent, avoid missed testing deadlines and simplify saferty management.
