4.0 Electrical Work
4.1 Basic Requirements

CS Energy has an obligation as an employer, a person in control of electrical equipment
and an Electrical Entity to ensure that:
Its business or undertaking is electrically safe.
All electrical equipment controlled by or used is electrically safe.
Persons and property affected by electrical work are safe.
Persons performing work involving contact with or near to exposed parts are
electrically safe.
Electricity Entity works are electrically safe and operated in a way that is electrically
safe.
Its works are inspected, tested and maintained.
CS Energy has a specific obligation to ensure that persons, operating plant or vehicles
do not come into direct contact with an electrical part, or enter an exclusion zone,
unless the part is isolated in conformance with PTW procedures, or the work has been
authorised in accordance with this procedure (sections of this procedure deal with
testing and commissioning where direct contact may be required to perform work).
Personnel must be authorised by Site Management (Site PTW Administrator) to
test and prove de-energised and to perform work in an Authorised Zone or
Exclusion Zone.
For clarification of the term Authorized Zone refer to the definitions.
For clarification of the term Exclusion Zone refer to the explanatory details and table
within Attachment 1.
For clarification of work for isolation, testing, live work etc. Refer to the Electrical Safety
Guidelines (Attachment 2).
All personnel are to treat any exposed part as if it is energised until it is isolated
and proven not to be energised. CS Energy requires electrical workers, electrical
technicians, and electrical engineers to implement a test for de-energised before
commencing work (test before you touch).
4.2 Identifying and Controlling Electrical Risks - JSEA
4.2.1 Risk Assessment

To work on or near any electrical equipment, it is first necessary to determine whether it
is safe to do so by undertaking a risk assessment. If the risk assessment has indicated
that electrical risks cannot be sufficiently eliminated or controlled to enable the work to
be done safely on or near energised electrical equipment, then work must not proceed.
Consideration is also to be given to the consequences of electrical work that may affect
not only the safety of persons at the work area but also the safety of persons who are
remote from the work.
Where practicable the assessment should be carried out at the worksite and all workers
involved in the electrical work are to be consulted, participate in the assessment and
develop control measures. The control measures shall reduce to an acceptable level


any conceivable risk of any person performing the work, entering the work area, and or
coming into contact with energised exposed conductors.
As part of pre-work planning and the JSEA process, the following types of issues are to
be considered:
The location to be worked in, whether it is in the vicinity of entity works or in the
vicinity of electrical installations.
Cramped working conditions, confined spaces.
Multiple sources of supply, inadvertent operation of equipment (such as the
operation of control devices, standby generators and non-electrical equipment).
Damp situations, heat, work height, work environment, noise, unstable work areas,
site conditions, weather conditions, organizational requirements and competency of
personnel.
Reference to facility drawings, electrical drawings and service drawings.
The method of work being used, whether it is via machinery, portable electrical
tools or by the use of hand tools.
Prospective fault levels.
Operational pressures to carry out the work or restore electricity generation and
supply.
Specific overhead lines, conductors or cables or equipment under tension or likely
to fall.
Underground and in-situ electrical cables.
Removing wall sheeting during a building refurbishment.
Penetrating a wall cavity or ceiling space with a hand tool or portable electric tool.
Using portable electrical tools to cut piping that may contain water.
Excavating on site in preparation for a new facility or building.
Digging holes for the erection of fence posts.
Any other activity that may require penetration into the ground or work in the vicinity
of in-situ electrical installations and entity works.
Voltages between phases, between phases and neutral and between phases and
earth (including metalwork, damp situations, other conductive surfaces and
persons nearby).
Voltages across open switch contacts, across undischarged capacitors, across the
secondary terminals of transformers (including current transformers), on
disconnected conductors (particularly neutrals), induced voltages, voltages
between different earthing systems and voltages caused by static electricity.
In multiple earthed neutral (MEN) installations the rise in the earth potential in an
installation due to a high resistance return path to the distribution neutral.
Incorrect wiring connections, fault equipment (the frame of the fault equipment may
become energised).
Voltages from other sources of supply including illegal connections, uninterruptible
power supplies and motor generators.
Rescheduling the work so that the electrical equipment can be de-energised.


4.2.2 Applying Control Measures
The application of control measures is the process of considering each hazard in turn
and following the hierarchy of controls. The aim is to eliminate or reduce the potential
effects of each hazard. The hierarchy of controls is to:
(a) eliminate the hazard, which is always the first priority, e.g. by rescheduling work to
a time when work can be done de energised;
(b) separate the worker from the hazard, e.g. by distance or by barriers; and/or
(c) reduce the level of hazard, e.g. by the use of safety equipment, personal protective
equipment (PPE), a safety observer or by training workers in working in the
presence of a hazard.
The electrical work is be checked in advance, particularly where other services are
likely to be present or affected, eg gas, telephone, data communications, water pipes,
other electrical circuits, other energy sources and where other trades are likely to be
working.
Work should avoid jeopardizing the operation of lighting and equipment essential for
safety or for the preservation of life, eg emergency lighting, evacuation alarms, fire
control systems.
CS Energys Excavation Procedure includes specific controls to address underground
service hazards, inclusive of the need to properly located underground electrical cables.
4.2.3 Awareness
Electrical workers, supervisors, safety observers, and those assisting electrical workers
working on or near electrical equipment, will be trained to understand the potential
hazards involved. They must maintain an adequate physical and mental ability when
working on or near electrical equipment. If personnel are temporarily or permanently
physically or mentally impaired eg under the influence of alcohol, drugs, fatigue or are
injured to a level that adversely affects their work performance, they shall not undertake
work.
4.3 Isolating
Isolation of remote controls via software logic alone is not acceptable. All electrical
conductors, including earthing conductors, shall be treated as energised until proven
de-energised.
An electrical isolation essentially consists of the following steps:
4.3.1 Isolate and/or De-energise the Installation or Equipment

Isolation of electrical energy and/or de-energising to undertake work on an electrical
installation or electrical equipment is to be undertaken in accordance with the
processes defined within CS Energys PTW Manual.
4.3.2 Test to Prove De-energised

Testing to prove de-energised must include a risk assessment and this can be
done using a JSEA for the low voltage activity or Form S1885 Live Electrical Work
Checklist for high voltage activities.


Only those testing devices maintained in accordance with CS Energys
Maintenance of Electrical Safety Equipment and Clothing (PPE) Procedure are to
be used.
Authorized Persons, Electrical Engineers, Electrical Technicians required to
perform electrical work when isolating must test and confirm the electrical
equipment is de-energised.
Correct operation of the testing device is to be verified immediately before and after
proving de-energised.
Low voltage equipment is to be proven de-energised at the intended point(s) of
contact with the conductors.
All phases of high voltage equipment are to be proven de-energised using an
approved high voltage detector before earthing equipment is applied.
During isolation, testing and prior to work commencing, it may not be practical to
isolate all live conductors adjacent to the work area in accordance with Section
4.4.1. Where this is the case, these conductors are to be shrouded where
practicable with approved insulating mats and covers and specific personal
protective equipment is to be used to ensure the work can be done safely.
Note: Non-electrical workers are not authorised to test and prove de-energised within
CS Energy.
Where switchgear contains inbuilt component/s as a part of their design to prove de-
energised, such as visible breaks, mechanical interlocks or LED indicators, earthing
switches can be closed without a test to prove de-energised. Where these design
features are not in place, a risk assessment must be conducted before undertaking a
test to prove de-energised. A test to prove de-energised can only be undertaken when
the risk assessed for the task is low.
4.3.3 Earth and short-circuit the installation or equipment (although this is

usually not undertaken for low voltage items)
Operator earths are to be applied immediately following the equipment is confirmed as
being isolated and tested to prove de-energised.
At least one set of operator earths is to be applied to the conductors to be worked
on under the isolation process. Operator earths may be, in order of preference:
an earth switch, or
a portable earthing device connected to a permanent earthing point.
High voltage earthing is to be done in accordance with the HVIA Guidelines.
Operator earths may be removed during a PTW suspension for test in accordance
with the PTW process and such that:
connection and disconnection of test instrumentation is performed while the
earths are connected, and
the work party have ceased work and are clear of the equipment to be tested.
Working earths, which are earths applied by the OIC Work during work activities,
are to have a current carrying capacity adequate to discharge stored or induced
charge at the work area and be able to safely limit a rise in potential at the work
area.
The time, location, placement and removal of working earths is to be recorded
within Section 7 of the PTW Form and the OIC Work is to ensure that all working
earths associated with a PTW are removed prior to surrendering the PTW.


In addition to the previous safety and working earth requirements, the following
earthing principals are to be complied with:
where an earth switch is available it is to be closed prior to applying portable
earthing devices, if practicable,
earthing equipment is to be installed as close as practicable to any persons
required to work on the isolated electrical equipment, so that the earthing
equipment where possible is within sight of those required to perform the work,
tails of portable earthing devices are to be connected to the permanent
earthing point before being connected to the de-energised electrical
conductors,
all de-energised phases are to be earthed,
where individual single phase earths are installed, each earth is to be
connected to the same earth system and the tails are to be as close as
practical on the same permanent earthing point to form an effective short
circuit,
electrical equipment is not to be earthed through fuses or circuit breakers that
may operate in the event of unintentional re-energisation, and
Where the work involves the connection, cutting, or disconnection of high voltage
conductors, portable earthing devices are to be applied on either side of as close
as practicable to the proposed break/connection with both devices connected to a
permanent earthing point.
When isolating electrical equipment with multiple feeds operator earths are to be
placed on each source of supply.
Portable earthing devices are to be of an approved design and suitable for
conditions at the particular work locations in which they are used. Additional to
this, portable earthing devices:
joints are not to be interfered with,
tails are not to be extended, and
are to be marked with the following: fault current rating, due date for test,
manufacturer and unique identifier.
4.4 Performing Electrical Work

Persons performing electrical work must be:
competent and authorised to work on CS Energy equipment;
the holder of a current electrical work licence;
an electrical apprentice or an electrical engineer in the practice of their profession;
and
TEST BEFORE YOU TOUCH to prove de-energised.
Licensed electricians must perform activities permitted by the class of licence they hold.
Electrical engineers are permitted to perform electrical work where the work is part of
their practice as an electrical engineer - electrical work of a commissioning or fault
finding nature.
Live electrical work is not to be performed under any circumstance unless it is not
practical to do so due to one or more of the following being applicable.


It is necessary in the interests of safety, whether or not electrical safety, for the
work to be performed while the electrical equipment is energised (e.g. emergency
lighting).
A supply of electricity is necessary for the proper performance of the electrical
work, (e.g. testing of plant returned to service).
There is no reasonable alternative to performing the electrical work other than by
live means. (e.g. testing for fault finding).
The work consists of testing to prove de-energised.
4.4.1 Requirements for Live Work

When it is not practicable to work de-energised in accordance with Section 4.1, the
following requirements are to be ensured.
The OIC for the work has developed a safe system of work (which includes a JSEA
with Form S1885 Live Electrical Work Checklist and PTW), in consultation with all
personnel involved in the work.
An explanation is detailed within the JSEA that clarifies why it is not practicable or
why there is no alternative to performing the electrical work other than by a live
means.
The live work is authorised to be undertaken only after consultation with the Site
PTW Administrator (or person with delegated authority) and the person in control of
the electrical installation, electrical equipment or entity works (the site PTW
Administrator may involve the RPEQ, CS Energys site qualified person, site HSA
or others as necessary to provide advice and review the JSEA developed to
perform live work).
The person(s) performing the work is qualified and trained in the safe work
practices for the live work to be performed.
Testing equipment and tools appropriate for the live work to be performed have
been provided, maintained and are used correctly.
Clothing and personal protective equipment appropriate for the live work to be
performed have been provided, maintained and are used correctly.
The isolation point of the electrical supply for the equipment being worked on is
clearly identified and able to be easily reached without having to travel long
distances or move around/over plant equipment or obstructions - this may require
the use of a two-way radio with a person located at the isolation point for the circuit
being worked on.
The work area is clear of obstructions and allows easy access and egress.
There is a safety observer, observing the performance of the electrical work, unless
the work involves testing electrical equipment where the testing task can be done
safely without the need for a safety observer.
Unauthorised persons are prevented from entering the work area by a means of
barrier exclusion, signage or both.


To assist in compliance with this section of the procedure a generic JSEA for testing to
prove de-energised for low voltage isolations may be used provided it includes the
requirements of this section for live work and the relevant items in Form S1885 Live
Electrical Work Checklist.
4.4.2 Introduction of an electrical energy source

Insulation testing, injection testing or the introduction of any low or high voltage electrical
energy source into plant or equipment is considered live electrical work and requires a
risk assessment to be completed and the adoption of suitable control measures. A JSEA
is required for low voltage live work and Form S1885 Live Electrical High Voltage Work
Checklist is to be completed prior to the introduction of the high voltage electrical energy
or source.
4.4.3 Areas of Reduced Mobility

Care should be taken when working in areas of reduced mobility because of restriction of
movement and the inability to readily escape from the area. Examples of areas of
reduced mobility can be as follows:
(a) restricted areas in and around switchboards.
(b) working on a ladder, scaffold, or elevated work platform.
(c) working in a trench.
(d) working in a pit or a tunnel.
Note: CS Energy has procedures in place for work at heights and confined spaces.
4.4.4 Trafficable Areas

Persons working near traffic areas, including vehicular and pedestrian, are to install
barricade tape, barriers, signage and if necessary, lighting for personnel safety and
protection. Caution should be exercised and appropriate preventative action taken
when working in a passageway or narrow access area, eg where a door might be
inadvertently opened or closed and propel persons into an energised electrical source,
it should be restrained while work is being undertaken.
4.4.5 Illumination
Work areas shall be provided with lighting that is both adequate and suitable. Lamps
should be protected against breakage.
4.4.6 Permit to Work System

CS Energy has a Permit to Work System for any work being performed on or near
electrical equipment where potential hazards of injury to personnel or equipment
damage exist. The permit to work system sets out the relevant conditions for access to
plant and electrical equipment and for restoring operational status and other relevant
matters.
4.4.7 Plant Safety System Fault

In the event that a fault develops on a plant safety system, a safety notification is to be
raised on the defect and given a suitable priority. If the faulty component of a plant
safety system is required to be altered before complete repairs can be completed, the
safely system alteration shall be risk managed. Alterations to the safety system are not


to affect or change the original prioritisation of the safety notification, and therefore total
repair of the safety system will not be adjusted by the application of the alternation.
4.4.8 Use of Tools, Equipment or Plant with Exposed Conductive Parts

Metal items such as tape measures, rules, reinforced tape, ladders, scaffolding and
guards on portable lamps, shall not be used on or near exposed energised conductors.
If the use of hand tools with conductive parts is unavoidable on or near exposed
energised conductors, a JSEA shall be undertaken and safe control measures
implemented.
4.4.9 High Fault Current Levels

Persons working on or near energised exposed conductors of electrical equipment
should be aware that fault currents (many times the rated current of the supply
transformer) could flow for short times during fault conditions. Procedures and
protective safety equipment for this type of work are to be assessed as part of the JSEA
developed for the work.
Warning: Arcs that are produced under these conditions have the energy to cause an
explosion, melt metallic switchboard cubicles, and cause severe burns and flash burns
to the face and eyes and injury through impact from flying debris or dislodged
components. Over current circuit protection might not operate to safeguard the worker
in such circumstances.
4.4.10 Explosive Atmospheres and Hazardous Areas

The JSEA is to identify the risks and control the hazards associated with work on or
near electrical equipment within hazardous areas, eg gas and fuel installations, coal
handling areas and fine particle process areas. The type of work, equipment allowed
and precautions required may include the need for intrinsically safe equipment, the use
of gas detectors and monitoring of the environment. Workers working in hazardous
areas are to be trained and certified. Drawings of hazardous area classifications are to
be made readily available to the electrical workers required to work in those areas.
Potential sources of ignition include:
(a) Electric tools, test equipment and instruments, eg mains and battery-powered
appliances such as inspection hand lamps, drills, torches and test equipment.
(b) Personal affects eg jewellery, watches, cigarette lighters, matches, and battery-
operated items such as hearing aids, mobile telephones, pagers key ring torches
and transistor radios.
(c) Clothing made from wool, wool blends, nylons (unless treated with an antistatic
process) and polyvinyl materials (especially those having a nylon base). It is
possible for these materials to generate an electrical spark sufficient to ignite a
flammable gas or vapour mixture.
(d) Actions such as:
any form of welding or brazing;
use of a hacksaw;
drilling of any type;
impact of a hammer or chisel onto concrete or metal; or
rubbing or movement of plastics.


The items listed in Items (a), (b) and (c) above should not be taken or worn into a
hazardous area unless:
(a) they are certified for use in the conditions into which they are to be taken.
(b) the area has been determined to be safe by appropriate personnel (i.e. site HSA,
RPEQ, trained gas detectors who can confirm an explosive atmosphere does not
exist).
(c) Electrical workers required to work in hazardous areas are to have hazardous area
training.
4.4.11 Fault Finding or Testing

The risk of electric shock or arc, blast and flash burn injuries exists when performing
fault finding or testing on or near exposed energised conductors. To manage this risk
the following precautions, in addition to those in Clause 4.2.1 shall be taken:
(a) use approved test equipment for the application and ensures that it is selected for
the appropriate operating range.
(b) complete a JSEA for the activity or Form S1885 Live Electrical Work Checklist.
(c) check and confirm correct operation of test equipment on a known supply.
(d) consider the effects at the worksite and remotely of:
bridging out of safety and control interlocks
inadvertent initiation of equipment operation;
inadvertent energisation of equipment
bridging of terminals
forcing of contactors and interlocks; and
forcing of software interlocks, e.g. programmable logic controllers,
4.4.12 Testing Plug in Equipment

When testing for faults in electrical equipment that plugs into a socket outlet rated at up
to and including 20A, when it is energised, a residual current device (RCD) or an
isolating transformer shall be used.
4.4.13 Operating Work on Electrical Equipment

operating work on or near exposed energised conductors. To manage this risk, the
following precautions shall be taken.
Identify all the hazards and environmental considerations (e.g. position of energised
exposed conductors, cramped conditions, moving equipment such as cranes, elevating
work platforms, hot or wet conditions and hazardous areas).
(a) complete a JSEA for the activity or Form S1885 Live Electrical Work Checklist.
(b) use the appropriate equipment and PPE.
(c) do not operate switches under load unless they are designed for the purpose
(d) ensure that all portable operating equipment is rated for the highest voltage of the
electrical equipment and is in good condition, and


4.4.14 Cutting Cables or Wiring Enclosures
When carrying out work that involves cutting cables or wiring enclosures, the cables
shall be treated as energised and the procedures for working on or near exposed
energised conductors shall be followed until tests prove that the cable is de energised.
Warning: The use of testers that detect an electric field surrounding an energised
conductor may not be suitable for cables that are surrounded by a metallic screen,
cables carrying direct current and in some other circumstances.
4.4.15 Removing Out of Service Electrical Equipment and Cables

Before removal of out of service or decommissioned electrical equipment, the
equipment and cables shall be isolated from all sources of supply and appropriate tests
made to ensure the equipment and cables are de-energised.
4.4.16 Precautions when Leaving Electrical Work Unfinished

Electrical workers have a responsibility to ensure that the work they are doing does not
present a hazard to others at the workplace. This also means leaving the worksite in a
safe state for access by others. Means of making the workplace safety should include
the following:
(a) Terminating exposed conductors and where necessary, providing mechanical
protection.
(b) Physically securing cables.
(c) Tagging and taping off cables.
(d) Where appropriate, informing relevant parties that the work is not complete.
(e) Taking any necessary precautions to ensure that equipment cannot become
energised.
(f) Ensuring that switchboards are clearly and correctly labelled in relation to their
status.
4.4.17 Capacitors
When working on equipment that includes capacitors, substantial energy can be
present and therefore arcs could be produced that might cause electrocution burns or
electric shock or ignite gases or solid material.
Capacitors and associated circuitry shall be proved to be de-energised and fully
discharged before commencing work on them and their associated circuit wiring. This
may be achieved by using and maintaining approved safe discharging devices or by
following the manufacturers instructions. A voltage tester shall be used to prove that
these units are discharged, immediately before performing work, because capacitor that
do not have discharge devices attached might re-instate the full line voltage.
Care should be taken against the harmful effects of arching when applying discharging
devices. Short circuiting or earthing of capacitor terminals with metal objets such as
spanners or screwdrivers can result in an arc, blast and flash burn injuries and should
not be attempted. Use only approved devices.
Note: If a capacitor is not discharged then the requirements of Clause 3.2.5 for work
on or near exposed energised conductors applies.


4.4.18 Batteries
Accidental short-circuiting of battery terminals or connections might create substantial
arcs that can cause personal injuries or ignite hazardous gases or material.
Appropriate precautions shall be taken when working on or near batteries or equipment
that contains batteries.
Note: AS2676.1 and AS2676.2 provide guidance on safety practices during battery
installation and maintenance.
4.4.19 Elevated Electrical Equipment Poles and Structures and Overhead

Conductors
Extra caution should be exercised when working on or near exposed energised
overhead conductors or other energised electrical equipment in elevated positions. In
elevated positions, even a light shock can result in a fall that could prove fatal.
Approved safety harnesses and other necessary safety equipment and PPE shall be
used where appropriate. If a safety observer is necessary, the safety observer shall be
competent in relevant rescue procedures.
Poles and structures shall be tested and inspected to approved procedures to establish,
as far as practicable, whether they are structurally sound for the work to be carried out
without special precautions. The testing and inspection shall be performed before
climbing the poles or structures or before accessing them by means of elevating work
platforms.
4.4.20 Proving De-energised

Any voltage tests used to prove de-energised shall be conducted between all
conductors and between all conductors and a proven earth or shall be conducted to
another approved procedure. Voltage detectors used to prove de-energised, shall be
tested for correct operation immediately before use and again immediately after use to
confirm that the detector is still working.
Warning: The use of testers that detect an electric field surrounding an energised
conductor may not be suitable for cables that are surrounded by a metallic screen,
cables carrying direct current and in some other circumstances.
4.4.21 Identify the Safe Area of Work

The safe area of work for authorised zones and exclusion zones is to be identified as
part of preparing the JSA. The risk assessment for erecting barricades is to assess the
proximity of other workers, duration of the work being performed and the hazards
involved. All personnel who are to work in the area shall be advised of its limits by the
OIC.
4.4.22 Work on De-energised Equipment

Work on de-energised equipment shall only proceed if the equipment is isolated and
any other exposed conductors in the work area are either:
(a) de-energised and isolated; or
(b) seperated by barriers or bi distance.
If the above requirements are not satisfied, then the work shall be done in accordance
with the energised working procedures.


4.4.23 Working Near or In Direct Contact with Exposed Parts
For work involving direct contact with electrical parts is to be performed as detailed
below. Workers are not to not come into direct contact with an electrical part unless:
the person is an authorised person (authorised by CS Energys Site PTW
Administrator) for the electrical part which is low voltage, or
the electrical part is isolated from all sources of electricity, and
tested to ensure it is, or otherwise confirmed to be, isolated from all sources of
electricity, and
if the electrical part is a high voltage electrical part, it is earthed.
Items of operating plant or vehicles must not come into direct contact with an electrical
part (low voltage overhead insulated electric line) unless:
the item is operating plant and it is being operated by an authorised person
(authorised by CS Energys PTW Administrator) for the electrical part, and a safety
observer is being used.
4.4.24 Work Within Exclusion Zones for Electrical Parts

Persons, operating plant or vehicles must not enter or work within an exclusion zone of
an electrical part unless:
the electrical part is isolated from all sources of electricity;
tested to ensure it is, or otherwise confirmed to be, isolated from all sources of
electricity; and
if the electrical part is a high voltage electrical part, it is earthed.
For identification of the term exclusion zone refer to the table within Attachment 1.
If it is not practicable to test or otherwise confirm the isolation of electricity for an
electrical part, entry into the area, or the work may be performed if:
the work can be performed safely as determined by a JSEA;
detailed work instructions have been established in relation to the practice and
these have been made known to those performing the activity; and
at least one of the following applies:
(a) suitable barriers or earthed metal shields are installed between the person,
operating plant or vehicle and the electrical part;
(b) the work is testing and the electrical part or the electrical equipment of which
the part is a component is designed in a way requiring the work to be
performed while the person, operating plant or vehicle is within the exclusion
zone; or
(c) the work is earthing of the electrical part of the electrical equipment of which
the part is a component and the earthing is performed after the electrical part
or equipment has been isolated and proved to be de-energised.
Note: Working within an exclusion zone is deemed as live work and as such specific
requirements as per Section 4.4.27 are to be ensured.
4.4.25 Specific Overhead Line Considerations

Specific overhead line hazards and controls are to be identified within a JSEA where
operating plant such as the following may come into contact with overhead lines during
work activities on site:


cranes;
elevating work platforms;
earth moving equipment; or
any other plant that may come into contact with overhead lines.
Pre-work planning and consultation (including preparation of a JSEA) with plant
operators, plant hire companies and contractors is to be undertaken by the OIC to
minimise the likelihood of exclusion zones being entered and to ensure a safe system
of work has been identified prior to activities commencing.
Only authorised persons or instructed persons are to operate plant near overhead lines.
To ensure this is the case where contracted parties are involved in the work, CS Energy
authorised persons are to supervise the work and undertake pre-work consultation with
plant operators to ensure all relevant issues are discussed and documented.
A safety observer is to be used at all times where entry into an exclusion zone is
possible or where work is performed within an authorised zone.
A part of pre-work planning and performing the JSEA process the following types of
issues are to be considered:
Size and dimensions of the load(s).
The conductive nature of the operating plant or the load(s) and the likelihood of it
becoming live due to induced voltages.
Special precautions for the lifting of the load(s) above or over electric lines.
The method of securing the load(s).
Whether any part of the load(s) may move inadvertently during lifting and slewing.
Whether unexpected movement of the operating plant may cause it to enter an
exclusion zone or contact an overhead line.
Whether wind factors could cause the operating plant or load to enter an exclusion
zone or contact an overhead line.
Note: Power Station specific procedures that ensure a level of safety equal to or
exceeding the above requirements may also be used as a supplement to ensure a safe
system or work where overhead lines present a hazard.
4.4.26 Specific Underground and In-Situ Electrical Considerations

Specific electrical hazards and controls are to be identified within a JSEA where work
activities on site, such as the following, may cause persons or operating plant to come
into contact with electrical cables and installations:

Penetrating a wall cavity or ceiling space with a hand tool or portable electric tool.
Using portable electrical tools to cut piping that may contain water.
Excavating on site in preparation for a new facility or building.
Digging holes for the erection of fence posts.
Any other activity that may require penetration into the ground or work in the vicinity
of in-situ electrical installations and entity works.
As part of pre work planing and JSEA processes the following types of issues are to be
considered. These include:
the location to be worked in whether it be in the vicinity of entity works or in the
vicinity of electrical installations;

unauthorised persons are prevented from entering the work area by a means of
barrier exclusion, signage or both;
reference to power station drawings, electrical drawings and service drawings; and
the method of work being used, whether it is via machinery, portable electrical tools
or by the use of hand tools.
As electrical lines and cables are manufactured in many ways and are often protected
by a range of varying electrical conduits, thorough pre-work cable inspection and
identification is to be undertaken prior to undertaking work within buildings or facilities.
Where excavation activities or the driving of items into the ground is required, CS
Energys Excavation Procedure is to be implemented which includes specific controls to
address underground service hazards, inclusive of the need to properly located
underground electrical cables.
Cable locating devices or services are to be used to identify the location of underground
or in-situ services.
4.4.27 High Voltage Line Work

component part separated from its normal earthing medium. Temporary protective
earthing conductors shall be rated to withstand the prospective short circuit current
of the primary protection without failing.
(i) Particular care should be taken when removing neutral connections as test may
have indicated a de-energised situation. However, when these connections are
removed, a voltage may be present between conductors or between conductors
and earth.
(j) Only conductors at the same voltage should be worked on at any one time.
Insulating barriers, covers or mats shall be used in the work area between
conductors of different phases or voltage or work shall be carried out to an
approved procedure. The conductive path between electrical workers and
conductors and between electrical workers and earth (including building materials
such as concrete and steel that may be earthed) should be broken by one or more
of the following methods:
Insulating barriers, covers or mats
Insulating tools
insulating gloves
(k) when work is left unfinished, the workplace is to be left in a safe state for access by
others.
(l) ensure the equipment is returned to service in its original state or that changes
made have been approved.
