NSW WorkCover's guide to Testing and Tagging of Electrical equipment states
"Plugs and extension sockets may be replaced by a non-electrically qualified person provided the person has been trained, assessed and found to be competent to fit plugs and sockets according to the manufacture's instructions."
It is a prerequisite of this training course that all candidates have attended a recognised course in the inspection and testing of electrical equipment to AS/NZS3760 and have been assessed and found to be competent. No exceptions, documented proof and photo ID is required.
The purpose of this course is to allow those who have successfully completed an electrical testing and tagging course to acquire the knowledge and skills required to replace plug tops and sockets on extension leads and to portable electrical items.
The duration of the course is approximately 3.5 hours including an assessment. During the course you will be required to connect up to 6 single phase plugtops , 6 single phase sockets and make a 10 amp extension lead test and tag it. All tools and materials are supplied.
Successful candidates will be issued a Certificate of Competency
