Compliance Reporting
Overview
Digital Compliance Reporting & Records
Compliance reporting is the delivery of detailed digital documentation after every inspection and testing visit — giving you a complete, auditable record of your workplace's electrical safety status. ...
- WorkSafe NZ inspectors and insurance assessors expect documented evidence of electrical safety compliance. Without proper reports, you cannot demonstrate that your equipment has been tested at the required intervals.
- Digital reports are searchable, filterable, and always accessible — unlike paper records that can be lost, damaged, or difficult to locate during an audit.
- Photographic evidence of failed items provides clear documentation for insurance claims, equipment replacement decisions, and regulatory submissions.
- Automated next-test-due tracking ensures you never miss a retest deadline, maintaining continuous compliance without manual calendar management.
