Preventative Maintenance (Statutory Testing)CEC offers a comprehensive scheduled preventative maintenance package. We conduct a wide range of scheduled testing to ensure our clients comply with current legislation in the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and to work within the Australian Standard (AS) requirements.

RCD Inspection & Testing
|
With regard to RCDs, also known as safety switches, current legislation requires “a person having control of a workplace, must provide where electricity is supplied to portable equipment through a fixed socket, protection against earth leakage current by means of RCDs and ensure that each RCD installed at the workplace is kept in a safe working condition and tested on a regular basis.”
Prior to RCD testing, CEC will undertake a survey to ensure the level of protection of a client's premises meets the legislative requirements. If the survey determines the level of protection is not sufficient, in discussion with the client an installation program will be developed. As required by legislation, regular testing is required to ensure an RCD’s continued effective operation. CEC controls and monitors the inspection and testing requirements of clients, utilising industry specific maintenance scheduling software. Thus ensuring our client’s management complies with legal obligations with minimal effort.

Exit/Emergency Lighting Inspection & Testing
|
In order to comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) exit signs must be installed on, above or adjacent to each door providing direct egress.
Emergency lighting, complying to AS2293, is to be provided for the safe movement of persons at work in the eventuality that an emergency arises and normal lighting is temporarily unavailable. In accordance with AS2293 series, both exit signs and emergency lighting are required to be regularly tested on a six monthly basis. |

Portable Equipment Inspection, Testing & Tagging
As required by the Occupational Safety & Health Act 1984(WA) and the Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1994(WA), testing and tagging of portable equipment, in accordance with AS3760, meets the needs of WorkSafe’s requirement for a maintenance protocol. It ensures the safety of portable equipment thus ensuring the safety of staff, and employees. Testing and tagging in accordance with the standard has specific documentation requirements. The results of which act as an efficient and effective asset management tool.

Planned Lighting Inspections
CEC can provide routine lighting inspection and repair for warehouse and factory lighting, thus ensuring repairs and replacement costs are minimised. Regular maintenance ensures the employer's duty of care for the safety of employees is maintained.
Thermographic Switchboard Surveys
Through routine inspection and maintenance of switchboards using thermographic technology, potential “hot-spots” can be identified. By being proactive the “hot-spots” can be repaired which prevents costly production shutdowns before they occur.

Machine Maintenance — Mechanical & Electrical
CEC can provide routine mechanical and electrical machine maintenance, to minimise production losses by reducing unnecessary breakdowns. Our personnel are capable of carrying out scheduled maintenance on equipment such as:
- Electric motors
- Gear boxes
- Chain drives
- Fluid drives
- Pneumatic and hydraulic systems
Maintenance Survey
For new clients CEC provides a service to determine a suitable level of scheduled maintenance to achieve optimum plant performance, and a greater mean time between failures. This is achieved by undertaking a site survey with the client to determine those areas at risk.
The survey can also identify items of plant, which if they breakdown due to lack of maintenance will interrupt production of the whole line or plant, ie critical analysis single-point-of-failure.
As determined, by the survey or client requirements, a comprehensive scheduled preventative maintenance program will be developed. CEC controls and monitors the preventative maintenance requirements of clients utilising industry specific maintenance scheduling software, CMS. This servicing ensures the plant and equipment operates at it's optimum level with maximum lifetime and minimum down times.
