Q. What are the regulations regarding the use of 10 Amp power plugs?
A. All leads supplying power to a caravan must be 15 Amp sourcing their power from a 15 Amp outlet

Q. Are all power supply leads to be 15 Amp?
A. 10 Amp leads cannot be used to supply power to a caravan.

Q.    Some park owners/managers in various states are claiming plugs are to be the transparent type to allow inspection without dismantling and the lead to "tagged" in order to be legal and be used onsite. Is this claim true?
A.    There is no law that our Workplace Health & Safety consultants can establish that requires a transparent plug.
        There is no law at this point in this QLD (or any other, we believe) requiring a privately owned lead to be tested and tagged. It is highly recommended.
A park owner does however have the right, and, duty to refuse supply to a lead if he/she believes it may be unsafe.

Q. If broken down on the side of the road and carrying out some repairs eg. changing a wheel or something similar, then you are required to wear a reflective vest. True or false
A There is no law requiring private individuals to wear reflective vests as far as we can ascertain.

Under the Workplace Health and Safety Act, there are various categories of "Workplace" so different requirements can be in place for different situations.
