CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111OCCUPIED PREMISES · CHILDREN AND VISITORS · CONTROLLED WORK AREAS
Need fence work at a Waverley home or premises where children and visitors are present? Tell Wesslink how the property is used so the inspection and work area can be planned safely. We can assess the installation, quote electric fence repairs and help with an electric fence COC once the necessary inspection and corrections are complete.
Keep children, visitors and animals away from suspect fence equipment and the contractor’s work area. The property’s responsible adult or staff member should manage occupant access during attendance.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Waverley has an established residential identity and educational premises, including St Mary’s School, whose own account documents its local setting. At your particular property, describe the people and routes affected by fence work. A school, childcare setting or family home needs a practical attendance arrangement based on its actual activities, without assuming one policy applies across the suburb.
Explain the normal activity and arrange for a responsible person to keep the area clear during assessment. Do not ask children to point out a fault at close range or retrieve an object from the wires. Give Wesslink a safe description of the concern and the relevant access arrangements instead.
Identify who will direct arrivals away from the work area and provide a suitable route. A technician inspecting equipment cannot also supervise every visitor. If the normal entrance is affected, agree the practical arrangement before work begins rather than improvising when someone needs to pass the equipment.
State the available window and what must be restored before people return. The contractor needs to assess whether the task can reasonably fit that arrangement. Electric fence installation changes involving another trade may require a different sequence from a limited inspection or an identified repair.
Ask for the work status and any remaining restriction to be explained to the person responsible for the premises. If a defect remains, keep the relevant area controlled and agree the next action. An attendance time on a job card is not a substitute for understanding whether the work is complete and what occupants need to know afterwards.
For an electric fence compliance certificate, provide available records and allow the necessary inspection access. If a fault prompted the visit, explain the symptom for electric fence fault finding without attempting to reproduce it around occupants. Obtain applicable owner or management approval for repairs and alterations, especially where the fence serves shared premises rather than a single household.
INSPECTION & TESTING
A working energiser is one part of the system. The inspection also considers the fence installation, its safety provisions and the test results.
An electric fence certificate follows inspection and testing by a registered person. Defects affecting compliance must be corrected before certification. Read Regulations 12–13 ↗
Identify the equipment and the fence sections it supplies, including alterations and gate crossings.
Inspect the earth system, wires, joints, brackets and insulators, together with the installation’s condition.
Check the safety provisions around the fence, including signs and places where people can approach it.
Explain defects found, agree the repair work and complete the checks needed before certification.
ELECTRIC FENCE COC COSTS
Describe the operating hours, access limits and responsible on-site contact before requesting a quotation. Ask what the assessment and repairs include and whether the proposed timing requires further attendance. Keep any separate staff supervision, building work or premises-management task identified, so the fence quotation is considered alongside the arrangements needed to complete the job safely.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · WAVERLEY
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Discuss the location and work requirements first. A responsible person must be able to keep children clear, and the practical arrangement may require a different time or restricted area.
Keep people away from suspect equipment and report the normal indication and timing. Do not ask anyone to touch wires or retrieve objects to identify the fault.
Provide the relevant installation records and authorised access through the responsible manager. The assessment and necessary corrections must be completed for the installation concerned.
Use the owner or manager and the person responsible for occupants at the premises. They need a clear account of completed work and any remaining restriction before normal use resumes.
A registered electric fence system installer may issue an electric fence compliance certificate after the required inspection and testing. An ordinary electrical COC is a separate document.
Ask for the inspection, any repairs and any return visit to be itemised in the quote. The work required depends on what is found; a price should not assume that the fence will pass before it has been inspected.
