Electrical safety compliance is a legal obligation, but on a live industrial site it is also an operational one. Overdue emergency lighting, an expired RCD test or a contractor certificate nobody can find becomes a shutdown risk, an insurance problem and an audit finding, usually at the worst possible time. Regular testing and inspection catches faults early, keeps your site aligned with Australian electrical compliance standards and reduces your exposure to electrical hazards.
At CW Electrical & Automation we do both halves of the job. Our licensed technicians carry out the physical work, including appliance test and tag, exit and emergency lighting testing, RCD testing, thermal imaging, arc flash analysis and electrical safety audits, across industrial and commercial sites in Melbourne. For larger sites and multi-building portfolios, we run that work through the CW Compliance Platform, our own site safety compliance management system that tracks every obligation, schedules it forward and holds the evidence in one place.
We design the systems we build — drawings, calculations, control philosophies and compliance documentation, available as a standalone engagement.
CW Electrical & Automation is available to carry out professional test and tag services for businesses throughout Melbourne. Our technicians thoroughly inspect and test each electrical appliance to confirm it is safe and functioning correctly. Compliant equipment is tagged with a certification label, ensuring your workplace meets safety regulations and minimises risk to employees.
Emergency and exit lighting must be tested every six months to ensure it functions correctly in a crisis. We can perform rigorous testing for businesses across Melbourne, ensuring all lighting systems are operational and compliant with Australian safety standards.
Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are vital for preventing electric shocks and fires. With years of hands-on experience, our technicians can provide reliable RCD testing services, identifying faults and confirming each device’s ongoing safety and compliance.
Our smoke detector testing services are straightforward to schedule and highly thorough. Regular testing helps you meet legal safety obligations while ensuring your smoke detectors will provide early warning in the event of fire, giving employees time to evacuate safely.
CW Electrical & Automation offers advanced thermal imaging inspections to identify hidden electrical faults before they become dangerous. This non-invasive electrical compliance check works by detecting heat signatures from malfunctioning components, helping to prevent failures and enhance workplace safety.
Traffic light systems are essential in any location where the movement of vehicles needs to be controlled for safety or efficiency. They’re especially beneficial in:
Our team of certified electrical safety experts can conduct thorough electrical audits of your electrical systems, infrastructure and equipment, identifying potential hazards, code violations and areas where improvements are needed. You will receive a detailed report with actionable recommendations to enhance safety and compliance.
Regular testing and maintenance are essential to keep your electrical systems operating safely and efficiently. We offer comprehensive testing services, including insulation resistance, ground fault testing and power quality analysis. Our maintenance programs ensure that your electrical equipment is in top working condition, reducing the risk of failures and downtime.
We can assist you in understanding and adhering to local, state and national electrical codes and standards. Our electrical compliance inspection experts will ensure that your electrical systems and installations meet the necessary regulatory requirements. You can rely on us to help you navigate the complexities of electrical code compliance to avoid costly penalties and maintain a safe working environment.
When electrical incidents occur, rapid response is crucial. We can provide emergency response services to assess and mitigate electrical accidents. Our experts will investigate electrical incidents to determine their root causes and provide recommendations to prevent future occurrences.
Arc flash incidents can be devastating. We use arc flash analysis ETAP tools to identify potential arc flash hazards and quantify the associated risks. We can also develop mitigation strategies to minimise the impact of arc flash incidents and protect your employees and equipment. Our arc flash hazard analysis and mitigation services include creating arc flash labels and providing training to your staff on safe work practices.
We also use asset management software to electronically track every asset on your site. This allows us to generate detailed reports on testing history whenever needed, ensuring full traceability and accountability.

Electrical testing and tagging is the process of inspecting electrical appliances for damage, wear or faults to determine their safety. If deemed safe, the appliance is tagged with a label confirming it meets Australian electrical compliance standards.
Testing frequency will ultimately depend on your industry and risk level, but here’s a general guideline:
An arc flash is a sudden release of electrical energy that causes intense heat, pressure and flying debris. Posing a serious risk to anyone nearby, an arc flash typically occurs due to equipment faults or improper handling.
Technicians can use arc flash analysis ETAP tools to carry out arc flash analysis calculations and identify arc flash boundaries. This helps assess the danger level and determine the appropriate safety measures and equipment needed.
It is a compliance management system built by CW Electrical & Automation to manage whole-of-site legal compliance. It tracks every obligation across your buildings, schedules the work forward from its required frequency, records who is responsible for it and stores the evidence against each item. You can see it in action in the live platform demo.
Yes. It was designed for exactly that. Compliance status is tracked by building and by category, so site management can view the whole portfolio at once or drill into a single building, and the attention list groups everything falling due so contractor visits can be planned as bundled mobilisations rather than managed one obligation at a time.
Yes. Contractors are given access to their own scope only. They see the obligations they are responsible for and upload evidence against them, while site management keeps the full view across every building. The platform brings your current contractors into one register rather than requiring you to change who does the work.
The evidence library creates folders ahead of each due date based on the obligation frequency, so certificates and reports are filed as the work is completed rather than assembled retrospectively. Anything missing, overdue or flagged on review shows on the dashboard well before an auditor finds it.
