Health & safety

Workplace safety

While many consider the home to be a place of safety and comfort, there are a wide range of risks involved for those working in a home environment and we all have an obligation under the Workplace Health and Safety Act 1995 to provide a healthy and safe workplace for workers in the workplace including in private homes.

What you should as a client should consider regarding workplace safety:

• maintain a safe work environment (e.g. restrain animals, consider parking & access, provide a clear work area & adequate lighting) 

• inform workers of any known hazards.

• cooperate with workers to ensure safe work procedures and a safe work environment (e.g. move furniture to allow adequate work space based on assessed needs) 

• look after their own in-home safety (e.g. maintain electrical equipment and safety switches to switchboards)

What technician will do on arrival regarding workplace safety:

• communicate and understand what services are to be provided

• conduct a 5 point risk assessment

• If the assessment shows that workers are exposed to significant risks, service providers will determine whether they need to modify or suspend that particular service until the risk has been adequately controlled. 

• wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and be trained in its use

• assess additional services before being performed  

• review an activity that may have changed to ensure the controls are still working or need to be altered

• document the daily monitoring of the service

Payment

Payment is to be made on completion to the technician onsite. Payment can be made by cash, electronic funds transfer or credit card*. Residential metropolitan rates for gas technician servicing, testing, diagnostics and fault identification is $189.00 for up to the first half hour onsite. Further labour rates after the first half hour are to be charged at $49 for every quarter hour or part thereof. If your area is classified as regional, charges may vary.
