Electrical Safety Act 2002
LegislationReferenced in 5 bills
Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill bundles together five unrelated policy changes: restructuring the Brisbane 2032 Olympics governance body and requiring a 100-day infrastructure review, abolishing Queensland's treaty process with First Nations peoples, rolling back workplace safety inspection rights for unions, clarifying planning rules for major developments, and making the Public Sector Commissioner harder to dismiss.
Electrical Safety and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill makes two sets of changes. First, it strengthens Queensland's electrical safety framework by confirming electricity distributors can issue defect notices and by giving the regulator clearer powers to ban unsafe electrical equipment. Second, it removes an uncommenced provision that would have given workplace safety representatives a new way to request information from the regulator.
Queensland Building and Construction Commission and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill modernises the Queensland Building and Construction Commission by removing the requirement for physical licence cards and enabling digital alternatives. It also streamlines workplace safety reporting so that building industry licensees only need to notify one regulator of safety incidents, rather than reporting the same incident to both the QBCC and workplace safety regulators.
Electrical Safety and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill modernises Queensland's electrical safety and workplace safety laws. It updates electrical safety definitions to cover new technologies like e-scooters and battery storage systems, strengthens industrial manslaughter laws to protect the public, adds negligence to serious safety offences, and gives safety representatives new powers to photograph and test workplace hazards.
Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill simplifies Queensland's payment protection rules for building subcontractors and implements governance reforms for the building industry regulator. It clarifies trust account requirements, makes the QBCC Board more transparent, and streamlines licensing processes for builders and trades.
