Melbourne Water's management of Arc Flash risk (In-person)
Learn about Arc Flash and how Melbourne Water is managing this risk using hierarchy of controls and a practical approach to PPE selection. Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004, employers must provide and maintain a working environment that is safe and free of risk to health, so far as is reasonably practicable. The risk of electrocution and its prevention have long been understood and managed. But there is another risk, electrical arc flash, that has had far less attention. It is only recently that wider industry is actively addressing this risk.

Technical Talk: Low Voltage Installations - From 17th to 18th Edition: Aligning EIR 2011 with Current Wiring Regulations
The presentation traces the full regulatory evolution across 14 years of amendments, examining what changed in each successive edition (Amendments 1-3 of the 17th Edition, and Amendments 1-4 of the 18th Edition), and maps those changes to specific clauses in the EIR that require updating. Key compliance gaps addressed include: - RCD protection expanded from socket outlets - Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) becoming mandatory in most installations - Arc Fault Detection Devices (AFDDs) now required for socket circuits - 32A in high-risk premises - Metal/non-combustible enclosures mandated for consumer units (Reg. 421.1.201) - New sections required for EV charging, prosumer/PV installations, and energy efficiency - Certification forms (Appendices 11A-11C) to be replaced with BS 7671 Appendix 6 formats
