NSW Schools: What Section 26A Means for Electrical Safety

From 1 July 2026, section 26A of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW) requires PCBUs to comply with applicable approved Codes of Practice, or manage the relevant hazard or risk using another method that provides an equivalent or higher standard of health and safety.

For schools, this means WHS controls should not simply exist on paper. Relevant hazards need to be identified, appropriate controls implemented, and clear records maintained showing what has been done.

Electrical equipment is one of those workplace risks.

Liberty helps schools put practical electrical safety controls into place through inspection, testing, documented results and structured retest programs. Do not rely on an electrician who does the job once and disappears for the next two years. As both a former educator and now technician, I see this too often.

Busy SAM, Business Manager or WHS Coordinator?

Tell us what testing your school currently has in place. We can help you identify what needs attention, what records are already available, and what a practical testing program should look like.

WHS & Compliance Requirements for Schools

Understanding your legal obligations and industry standards for electrical safety in educational settings.

Key Australian Standards

AS/NZS 3760 — Electrical Equipment Inspection & Testing

Governs the inspection and testing of electrical equipment, including portable appliances, power tools, and extension leads.

AS 1851 — Fire Equipment Servicing

Mandates routine maintenance and testing of fire extinguishers, fire blankets, and hose reels to ensure operational readiness.

AS/NZS 2293 — Emergency & Exit Lighting

Specifies testing intervals and functional requirements for emergency and exit lighting systems.

RCD Testing in School Environments

Residual Current Devices (RCDs) prevent electric shock and require regular RCD safety switch testing. In school environments with high foot traffic and frequent equipment use, RCD testing is a non-negotiable safety measure.

Recommended Testing Frequency: Every 6 months for high-use school environments.

Annual WHS Audit Cycles & Leadership Accountability

School leadership—including principals, business managers, and WHS coordinators—bear responsibility for maintaining a safe environment for students and staff.

Annual WHS audits require documented evidence that all electrical equipment, fire safety systems, and emergency lighting have been tested in accordance with relevant standards.

Liberty provides: Comprehensive digital reports that satisfy audit requirements and demonstrate due diligence in electrical safety management.

NSW WHS Act & 2025 Regulatory Framework

The NSW Work Health and Safety Act 2011 places a duty of care on schools to eliminate or minimise risks to health and safety. This includes ensuring all electrical equipment and systems are maintained, tested, and compliant.

Schools must demonstrate proactive risk management, documented testing schedules, and rapid response to identified hazards.
