Due to the complexity of this legislation, rental property owners are encouraged to engage the services of a professional property compliance company. Here’s how Be Legal can help:
- A trained Be Legal technician will visit your property to ensure compliance with national legislation.
- A compliance report is issued, providing physical proof that all windows at the property have been checked.
- This report may be crucial when processing insurance claims or demonstrating a duty of care.
Corded Blinds Installation
In response to the threat posed by cords and hanging window furnishings, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) introduced a national mandatory installation standard in 2015 to minimize the risk of harm. Our technician will install tensioning devices such as cord guides or cleats and warning labels on all blinds.
Having just one safety switch may not be sufficient to protect tenants from electric shock. Each safety switch only safeguards the connected circuit. Landlords should consider installing safety switches on all property circuits, including power points, lights, air conditioning, ovens, hot water systems, and pool equipment circuits, even if they are on separate tariffs.
Ensuring Compliance
Due to the complexity of safety switch legislation, rental property owners are encouraged to seek the services of a professional property compliance company or consult with a licensed electrician.
Regular Testing and Maintenance
Safety switches should be tested regularly to ensure their functionality. An effective way to do this is by including safety switch inspection and testing as part of your regular smoke alarm maintenance. When a Be Legal technician checks smoke alarms, they can also test the safety switch during their visit.
