Product Overview
This Electric Vehicle Charging Point Installation SWMS is a site-ready safety management document designed to identify hazards, assess risks, and implement controls for EV charger installation and associated electrical works. It provides comprehensive coverage of installation, testing, and electric vehicle battery charging activities to support robust WHS compliance on Australian worksites.
Activities & Specific Tasks Covered
This document includes specific risk controls for:
- Planning and preparation for electric vehicle (EV) charging point installation, including site assessment and service location checks
- Selection and inspection of EV charging equipment, cabling, tools, and test instruments prior to use
- Isolation, lock-out and tagging of electrical circuits in accordance with safe electrical work practices
- Installation of EV charging units on walls, posts, or pedestals, including drilling, fixing, and mounting activities
- Routing, securing, and protecting electrical cabling to and from the EV charging point to prevent mechanical damage
- Connection of EV chargers to switchboards, distribution boards, and protective devices in line with electrical standards
- Testing, commissioning, and verification of EV charging points, including insulation resistance and RCD testing
- Safe procedures for electric vehicle battery charging, including monitoring charge cycles and managing overheating or fault conditions
- Management of electrical shock, arc flash, and fire risks associated with EV charging infrastructure
- Control of manual handling risks when lifting, carrying, and positioning chargers, posts, and associated hardware
- Use of ladders, elevated work platforms, or step platforms when installing chargers at height or in elevated positions
- Housekeeping, traffic management, and public interface controls when working in car parks, driveways, or shared access areas
- Emergency response procedures for electrical incidents, EV battery faults, and first aid for electric shock
