Workers' cottages next to warehouses and the port

Botany sits on the northern shore of Botany Bay, with homes in the streets around Botany Road and warehouses and industrial units towards Port Botany. About half of its homes are flats and half are houses or semis. Ambient's previous Botany page said it had serviced many of the suburb's older homes and found old, deteriorated wiring protected by ceramic fuses, and that it had installed LED lighting in Botany homes and businesses.

• Warehouses and light industrial units around Botany Road and the port, where a commercial electrician works on machine circuits and three-phase supply
• Workplaces that keep exit and emergency lighting working for staff and visitors
• Houses and semis, about half the suburb's homes, including older cottages that can still have their original switchboard

Test and tag for Botany workplaces

Warehouses, factories and commercial kitchens are the kind of places SafeWork NSW treats as higher-risk environments for electrical equipment. Its code of practice says equipment used in wet or dusty areas, outdoors and in commercial kitchens should generally be tested at least once every 12 months, every 6 months for equipment used in manufacturing, and every 3 months for hire equipment.

Test and tag covers appliances, tools and extension leads: a visual inspection, then insulation, polarity and continuity tests, with the results recorded. Under the Work Health and Safety Act, the employer is responsible for keeping that equipment safe.
