The Legal Framework in Western Australia
Western Australia adopted harmonised WHS legislation more recently than most other states:
- Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (WA) — WA’s harmonised WHS legislation, commencing March 2022
- Work Health and Safety (General) Regulations 2022 (WA) — including electrical safety requirements
- Electricity (Licensing) Regulations 1991 (WA) — governing electrical licensing in WA
- AS/NZS 3760:2022 — the national test and tag standard
- WorkSafe WA — the state WHS regulator
What WA Businesses Must Do
With the adoption of the harmonised WHS framework in 2022, WA businesses now operate under substantially the same test and tag and RCD testing obligations as the rest of Australia. Hostile environments require mandatory testing; offices and low-risk environments require a risk assessment with annual testing as standard.
Testing Frequencies in WA
| Service | Hostile Environment | Office/Low-Risk |
| Test and Tag | Every 3–6 months | Every 12 months |
| RCD Testing | Every 3–6 months | Every 12 months |
| Exit Light Testing | Every 6 months | Every 6 months |
| Fire Extinguisher | 6-monthly inspection / annual service | 6-monthly inspection / annual service |
