What is the Orange Card®?
Orange Card® is Australia’s #1 Temporary Power Safety Program.
Everyone who works at or visits a place where a temporary power installation is being used, is entitled to feel they are in a safe environment.
The Orange Card® Program has been developed to equip participants in these settings with the skills and practical knowledge to create a safe and compliant environment when working with a temporary power installation.
The Orange Card®
In Australia over the past decade, there has been extraordinary growth in the number of places where temporary power installations are being used.
Especially at shows, carnivals and events. There are more people working in this industry than ever before. Events are becoming more frequent as the demand for them grows.
Organisations are also finding new and innovative ways to use spaces to showcase their products and services to their audiences. Trade shows, exhibitions, pop-up stands are all great ways to connect with new and potential customers.
Why is the Orange Card® focusing on Temporary Power?
Greg Hogan explains that “temporary power” involves setting up electrical wiring and equipment temporarily, which is exposed and moved frequently, leading to higher safety risks.
The Orange Card® program helps ensure these installations are safe.
Courses
Our Orange Card® courses are built upon years of real-world experience and knowledge. The sponsor of our program, Greg Hogan, is one of the most respected electrical practitioners in the temporary power industry.
Our Orange Card® courses are designed to bridge the gap between the highly technical Australian and New Zealand Standards and normal, real-world situations that participants at event sites have to operate in every day.
Greg Hogan brings every bit of his 30+ years of experience to the Orange Card® Program. And our programs have been developed in consultation with regulators and other participants in the industry.
