At Energy Safe Victoria we ensure that
electrical work carried out in victoria
is completed safely by an electrician
who is licensed by us.
We do this through the certificate of
electrical safety process.
What is a certificate?
Your certificate of electrical safety is
a legal document that makes the
electrician accountable for the work
they have completed so that you can be
confident that the electrical work
carried out in your home complies with
standards and regulations.
Ask to see your electrician's licence
before work begins.
We also audit electrical work carried
out by Victorian licensed electricians
so you can be assured that safety
standards are being upheld.
You must receive your copy of the
certificate of electrical safety from
the electrical worker within 30 days of
work being completed in your home or
business. Talk to ESV if an electrician
refuses to provide you with one.
This document describes the type of work
