It’s just not worth the risk
While you may think you can ‘save’ a couple of dollars by ‘having a go’…
Stop – and ask yourself – is it worth risking your life or that of a loved one?
Not only is it breaking the law, but you could also be jeopardising your insurance!
Even when you think you know what you are doing, never attempt to do your own electrical work – it’s dangerous, illegal and can be fatal.
Unlicensed and DIY electrical work – it’s just not worth the risk!
What can happen if I do my own electrical work?
Aside from being illegal, unlicensed and DIY electrical work is dangerous for whoever does the work as well as for the users or anyone else who subsequently comes into contact with the unsafe electrical installation or equipment.
In Queensland, Electrical Safety Inspectors investigate issues of unlicensed work.
People who perform unlicensed and DIY electrical work potentially risk contact with electricity while performing the work, which can have deadly consequences. Additionally, the electrical installation or equipment affected may be unwittingly left in an unsafe state. Due to the latent nature of some electrical faults, this danger may not be immediately apparent. The danger often only becomes evident in a fault situation, or may even develop over time.
Major property damage from an electrical fire is also a real risk which can impose considerable financial, emotional and social costs, especially if it was the result of illegal electrical work, which may lead to an insurer refusing a claim.
What are the penalties?
Apart from injury or death, DIY electrical work is regarded as unlicensed electrical work, which is illegal, and has penalties of up to $40,000 for individuals.
A breach that causes a death or grievous bodily harm attracts a maximum penalty of $100,000 for an individual ($500,000 for a corporation) or two years imprisonment. If a breach causes multiple deaths, the maximum penalty is $200,000 for an individual ($1,000,000 for a corporation) or three years imprisonment. |
