ELECTRICAL SAFETY

A COC is a document verifying that electrical installations such as the plugs, lights, DB board, geyser, and wiring in a home or business comply with the legislated requirements as detailed in the Occupational Health and Safety Act. No person may market, sell, let, or supply an electrical installation that is unsafe. The seller of a property is therefore obligated to obtain a COC before transfer of the property from a legitimate contractible company which complies with all the criteria as stipulated by the authorities, and conforms to the latest Code of Practice.
