Electricity at work: Safe working practices
Guidance for devising safe practices for work on, or near, electrical equipment. In addition to assessing broader issues of recognised hazards and safety equipment, the guide has a particular focus on the more detailed decision making matters for consideration, such as whether to work under ‘dead’ or ‘live’ conditions and the actions common to both scenarios.
Accompanied by guidance, this document steers the reader towards a quick assessment of what's suitable and what's reasonable in most general settings but also provides additional advice concerning more hazardous circumstances, eg extra precautions for high-voltage work. Also containing a typical reference example of a permit to work.
