Electrical safety laws to protect Queenslanders
Source: Queensland. Attorney-General . Media Release
"New laws passed by State Parliament will protect Queenslanders from the dangers posed by faulty electrical appliances. Industrial Relations Minister, Cameron Dick said the amendments to the Electrical Safety Act 2002, will allow the immediate recall of unsafe electrical equipment in Queensland. “These amendments will allow the Government to order a mandatory recall notice if there is evidence a product on the market poses a risk to the community,” said Mr Dick. If Queensland’s Electrical Safety Office becomes aware that there is a potentially dangerous product on the market, as the responsible Minister I will now have the power to ensure it can be recalled immediately to avoid death and injury."
