About RCDs
Residual Current Devices (RCDs), commonly referred to as ‘safety switches’, are electrical safety devices designed to immediately switch off the supply of electricity when electricity leaking to earth is detected at harmful levels. RCDs offer high levels of personal protection from electric shock.

Requirements for Residual Current Devices
Legal requirements for RCDs in some Australian states and territories apply to workplaces where ‘plug in’ electrical equipment (electrical equipment supplied with electricity through a socket outlet - ie. vacuum cleaners, floor polishers, etc) is used in the following operating environments:

• Electrical equipment is exposed to operating conditions that are likely to result in damage to the equipment (or a reduction in its expected life span) including conditions that involve exposure to moisture, heat, vibration, mechanical damage, corrosive chemicals or dust
• Electrical equipment is moved between different locations in circumstances where damage to the equipment or to a flexible electricity supply cord is reasonably likely
• Electrical equipment is frequently moved during its normal use
