Installing CCTV cameras, sensors, and security systems involves working at height on ladders or EWPs, low-voltage cabling, and connection to mains-powered control equipment. This work triggers WHS Regulation 2025 high-risk construction work provisions for falls over 2m and electrical work near energised installations.
Hazards identified
3 hazards covered, sorted by priority.
Serious injury or fatality from height
Electrocution, burns, cardiac arrest
Musculoskeletal injury, strains, sprains
Control measures
Hierarchy-of-controls order: elimination → substitution → isolation → engineering → administrative → PPE.
- 1Use rated ladders or EWP with fall protection; isolate and test circuits before connecting low-voltage devices.
- 2Licensed electrician performs mains connection; LOTO applied; tested with verified VLD before touching conductors.
- 3Team-lift heavy equipment, use mechanical aids for ladders, and rotate tasks to reduce repetitive strain.
Applicable Codes of Practice
Mandatory standard for all fixed electrical installation work
Fall prevention for work above 2m installing cameras
High-Risk Construction Work triggered
Cameras and sensors routinely mounted on eaves, poles, and ceilings exceeding 2 metres.
Connection of CCTV power supplies and DVRs to energised mains circuits.
