Installation of audio/video intercom and multi-tenant door entry systems involves low-voltage cabling, drilling through wall substrates, and ladder access at entry points. Work triggers WHS Regulation 2011 obligations for electrical safety, falls prevention, and hazardous manual tasks under Sections 19 and 20 of the WHS Act 2011.

- 1Isolate, lock-out and test-for-dead before terminating; verify ELV separation from mains per AS/NZS 3000.
- 2Use industrial-rated ladder on stable ground with three points of contact; spotter for external entries.

Applicable Codes of Practice
Mandatory electrical installation standard for intercom mains interface
Ladder use above 2m at entry doorways
