OERt Masterclass | Electrical Oversight is not an Option

Thank you to those that joined us for the  Electrical Oversight is not an Option session we hosted with  Kurt Alexander (Quick Safety), Janelle Kerrisk & Jack Walker (Helix Legal) and Jesse Twartz (Zurich Insurance), we hope you gained valuable information from the session.

A Special Thank You

We’d like to extend a massive thanks to all of the presenters from today’s event for delivering such an important and thought-provoking session on safety and compliance. It was fantastic to see how many of our members are committed to improving safety, compliance, and resilience within your organisation.

Event Recap and Key Takeaways

Electrical safety is far more than a compliance obligation, it’s a critical safeguard for people, assets, and business continuity. Throughout the session, our expert panel explored the growing risks associated with electrical non-compliance and what organisations must do to stay protected.

    • Electrical oversight is non-negotiable: passive compliance is no longer enough
    • Failures in compliance create significant legal, insurance, and operational exposure
    • Legal, insurance, and compliance perspectives are increasingly interconnected
    • Accountability ultimately sits with asset owners, not just contractors
    • Without verifiable evidence, asset owners cannot defend compliance, even in good faith

We encourage you to take these insights back into your organisation and begin reviewing your current electrical compliance frameworks. Strengthening documentation, improving contractor oversight, and aligning with both legal and insurer expectations are critical next steps.
