1 Scope and responsibility

This guideline covers additions and additions when performing electrical work on or in
connection with Svenska kraftnät's high-voltage installations in addition to the
requirements set in the EBR electrical safety instructions ESA dated September 2019.
ESA refers to ESA (Basic + Work), ESA Instructed Person - Non-electrical work, ESA
Röjning i ledningsgata - Skog, as well as documents and forms belonging to these
publications. ESA, together with these supplementary guidelines, gives employers, in
collaboration with Svenska kraftnät's electricity plant managers, the opportunity to
work safely at, near or next to Svenska kraftnät's electrical installations. NOTE! These
instructions must always be followed.

Through a decision on this technical guideline, Svenska kraftnät, as owner and


employer, has formally adopted ESA to apply to all of Svenska kraftnät's electrical
installations. ESA refers to ESA Grund and ESA Arbete, as well as ESA Instructed
Person - Non-electrical work, ESA Röjning i ledningsgata - Skog.

This guideline is designed to correspond to the section structure within ESA - Foundation
and Work. The section numbering therefore restarts after each part.
As the guideline mainly deals with additions, clarifications and special
applications within Svenska kraftnät to ESA, sections may be missing. These
sections are clarified with a wording as follows: No supplementation,
clarification or special application of ESA Basic or Work.

NOTE! For additions, clarifications and special applications for ESA Instructed
Person, ESA Röjning i ledningsgata - Skog, Svenska kraftnät deviates from following
the section structure.

Systematic HSE requirements that are set for construction, civil engineering and
maintenance work, storage operations, consulting services in planning and design and
other similar assignments for Svenska kraftnät are found in TR13-01 and apply in parallel
with this guideline. Other work environment requirements are specified in Svenska
kraftnät's technical guidelines in the TR13-02 series.

Svenska kraftnät has adopted the electricity industry's common electrical safety instructions
ESA. Svenska kraftnät requires, in accordance with ESA, that the Supplier who carries out the
work on or in connection with the electrical installation has adopted ESA.

Svenska kraftnät recommends that special risk management be carried out for pregnant
employees when working at an electrical installation.

The requirements cover the operations that the Supplier conducts in accordance with contracts with
Svenska kraftnät. The requirements also apply to all Subcontractors and Sub-Consultants who work
within the assignment. The Supplier with whom Svenska kraftnät has signed an agreement is
responsible for ensuring that the requirements in this document are complied with.

applications of ESA Grund

3 Responsibility for Work Environment and Electrical Safety

3.1 Employer
Clarification
For any maintenance measures performed by the Purchaser's personnel or by hired
personnel, the Purchaser is to be regarded as the employer. Within the Purchaser, the
employer's duties are delegated to a special work environment delegation.

Tasks performed by the Supplier's personnel take place under the Supplier's employer
responsibility.

3.2 Holder
Clarification
The Purchaser's Director General is the holder of the Purchaser's electrical installations
(transmission network) with the materials, equipment and appliances that are installed in
the installation and that are needed for its operation. As the holder and electrical
installation manager, the Director General has delegated tasks in accordance with the
Purchaser's electrical safety delegation.

For the transfer of ownership responsibility, see TR13-03-01 (Svenska kraftnät's supplementary
requirements for reporting self-inspection of electrical installation and responsibility for
construction projects), section 6.

3.3 Electrical hazard


Completion
The Supplier shall report serious electrical accidents and incidents to the Purchaser
immediately after the direct rescue operation.

3.4 Regulations for performing electrical installation work

Special application
Electrical installation work regarding cable routing of the transmission network's 220 kV and 400 kV
high-voltage cables shall be carried out by companies that are registered within the business type
Electricity network High voltage1.

1 Trainingof installers who perform cable laying takes place on the basis of EBR document KJ41: 15. KJ41: 15 includes cable installations up to
145 kV Since the transmission network's high voltage cables exceed the voltage level for which KJ41: 15 is adapted, all cable routing for the
transmission network's high voltage cables must be carried out within the business type High Voltage Electricity Network.

TECHNICAL GUIDELINE 2020-12-01 TR13-03-02 ed. 3


14 (57)

3.5 Electrical safety limits


Special application
Within the Purchaser's facilities, the following main principles are used for determining the
limit for electrical system liability and connection liability:

> The limit for owner liability and electrical installation liability mainly coincides with the
ownership limit. Limit must be stated in the operating schedule.

> The boundary of the switching area with associated switching responsibility shall be
determined so that it fits the neighboring companies' Electrical Installation Managers. The
limit for connection responsibility must be clear and easy to observe. When determining
the limit, a switching device should preferably be selected in the vicinity of the limit for
electrical system responsibility, which in practice often means disconnectors to the busbar.
Deviations may, however, occur with regard to the design of the electrical system or for
organizational reasons. Limit must be stated in the operating schedule.

The basic rule is that the electric drive conductor who represents the owner of the border device is the
only one who has the right to operate the border device. Deviations from this rule must be agreed in
writing between the relevant electricity plant managers (operation). Operation of the boundary device,
as well as of the switches belonging to the union, shall take place after consultation between the
adjacent electrical system managers (operation).

Before a new electrical system part (line or busbar) can be slackened towards the transmission
network system, the system part must be inspected by the electrical installation company with
an approved result. Prior to commissioning, a commissioning check (according to the
Purchaser's internal governing document no. 77) must also be carried out by the electrical
system manager for maintenance and operation or its representative. The scope of the
inspection is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

3.5.1 International relations

Special application
When working on submarine cable between countries, the following principles are applied:

> Within Swedish territorial waters, Swedish electrical safety legislation applies.
Correspondingly, the legislation of another country applies to its territorial waters.

In cases where the submarine cable runs in an international area, the middle principle applies
unless otherwise stated, ie. Swedish rules apply from the Swedish side to a center defined by
agreement on the submarine cable.

> In the case of overhead lines, an overhead line post defined by agreement at the national
border applies as a limit for the application of national legislation or regulations.

TECHNICAL GUIDELINE 2020-12-01 TR13-03-02 ed. 3

For further detailed information regarding demarcation issues, refer to the


Purchaser's operating instructions D135.

For neighboring connections, communication in English is permitted during care measures and
exchange of evidence.

Due to the fact that our neighboring countries' regulations in some cases deviate from the Swedish
regulations, earthing switches on the boundary line may need to be blocked in the closed position
before work without voltage - AYY.

Within the Purchaser, personnel who will only carry out non-electrical work can2 in the
management area, ESA training is provided, which includes both ESA Instructed
Person - non-electrical work and at the same time be instructed on the general risks
that may exist in a management street. For other work, see ESA.

5.4 Layman
Completion
Study visits must take place under the supervision of expert staff. No training requirements
are imposed on visitors. Before admission is granted, lay people must be informed of
access rules for facility-specific risks by a qualified person.

If the Purchaser receives information about upcoming or ongoing work carried out by the
public / layman (eg landowner, municipality, other state authority or supplier on behalf of
one of these) within the precautionary zone (10 meters horizontally from the outer phase
of the line), information about electrical hazard, safety distance and other possible safety
restrictions are provided by the maintenance / management maintenance supplier of the
electrical installation manager. Any work that is planned to be performed within the safety
distance of the line must be performed by electrically qualified personnel and under the
guidance of the Purchaser's maintenance supplier (electrical safety manager). The client
recommends that the contractor train his staff in ESA Instructed Person - Non-electrical
work.

2 In this case, non-electrical work refers only to various inspections and checks from the ground, pre-engineering on site, damage

assessment, etc. Common to these works is that they are carried out outside the minimum distance for non-electrical work, without bulky
tools and that not in front of vehicles on patrol paths or the like with vehicles with a total height higher than 2.3 meters

Clarification
Arrival and departure to the operating room, pipeline street or cable tunnel / cable culvert must always be

reported to the electrical operations manager. In the case of stay restrictions, section (2.1.2, page 31) applies.

2.1.1 Emergency breaking


Special application

Emergency disconnection is defined in ESA as emergency disconnection of operating voltage for


rescue operation. Within the Purchaser, the action is used as follows:

> to increase safety margins as soon as possible in the event of a rescue operation (for
example when extinguishing a ground or forest fire in a main street, fire in switchgear,
removing a person from a pole)

> Emergency disconnection can also be performed as a direct connection measure in connection
with an acute and serious fault in the electrical system. In the event of an emergency break, the
electrical operation conductor disconnects the affected part of the system only with a switch.
However, the plant part may have a lower but still dangerous potential and must not be touched. If
a completely electrically safe system is required, disconnectors must be opened and blocked and
the system part earthed according to normal routing procedures (ESA working method - AUS). If an
emergency failure affects another person responsible for the electrical system, he shall
immediately notified.

2.1.2 Residence Restrictions

Completion
Within the Purchaser, there are routines regarding restrictions for access to operating rooms and high-
voltage cable systems. What is meant by operating room and separate area within operating room is
illustrated in the picture.

Operating room / Station area

Switchgear
advise / Separate
area of operation
room

Figure 2 which explains the operating room and a separate area within the operating room.

Access to operating room and high voltage cable system during normal operation

Access to operating rooms and high-voltage cable systems must be restrictive due to
general risks of fire, explosion or arc. Under certain conditions, there may also be a
danger of contact within these parts of the facility. Access may take place after risk
management. Access takes place mainly for periodic inspections, technical rounds,
inspections, inspections or maintenance measures.

If the system operator for operation or maintenance becomes aware of increased


risks of fire, explosion, arc or electrical contact hazard, the system operator -
maintenance or his representative may, in consultation with interested parties,
decide on restrictions on access to the system. The restrictions may consist of
access restrictions or access bans.

Access restriction
The customer can issue a restriction for an entire operating room or separate area within the
operating room as well as a high-voltage cable system, e.g. radius of X meters from Y apparatus.
Access may then only take place to and from the control building. Affected parts are shielded
with marking tape and appropriations if the restriction is set up clearly visible to those affected.
If the restricted area extends outside the fence, clear signage and roadblocks for the public
must be carried out.

In the event of an access restriction, only ESA qualified personnel may enter the operating
room. For other persons, a restraining order applies to the facility. Short-term access to

TECHNICAL GUIDELINE 2020-12-01 TR13-03-02 ed. 3


32 (57)

switchgear area may only take place for a limited maintenance measure (check that the maneuvering
measure has been carried out and work grounding) after written risk management.

Access ban

Refers to an absolute ban on all access to the operating room, or separate area within the
operating room or high-voltage cable system within an area of Xmeter from Y device. The area
can be screened with marking tape after risk management and appropriations must be set up
in a suitable place and clearly visible in connection with access roads. If the prohibited area
extends outside the fence, clear signage and barriers for the public must be carried out. As the
ban makes it impossible for all forms of maintenance measures in the relevant facility, the
relevant facility section must be disconnected by the electrical operations manager before
access can take place.

Introduction of restrictions

When a known or suspected fault exists on an operational part of the facility which as a result
entails a risk to a person, a risk management must be carried out in order to assess the extent of
the risk and possibly introduce some type of restriction according to the definitions above. Risk
management must be documented. In risk management, it must also be evaluated who is to be
informed and to what extent. Decisions on restrictions are made by Maintenance Manager
Maintenance in consultation with interested parties.

Information on the introduction and lifting of restrictions

Electrical installation manager - Maintenance must inform affected parties5 when


introducing and lifting restrictions. The information shall contain at least the following:

> Risk management

> the type of restriction that prevails in the facility (access restriction or
prohibition)

> what this restriction / prohibition entails

> which part of the facility constitutes a risk

> which area or radius the restriction covers.

2.6 Excavation work / piling / drilling


Completion
The Purchaser must be contacted in good time for all earthworks within the Purchaser's
high voltage cables safety distance. See table under section (4.4, Page 16) of this
document.

If work is carried out within a safety distance for high-voltage cable, a representative of the
Purchaser must be able to be present to carry out risk management and monitor the work. If
risk management shows that there is an electrical risk, an electrical safety conductor must be
appointed. If risk management indicates a high electrical risk, the work must be stopped until
the high-voltage cable can be de-energized so that the continued work can be carried out in a
safe manner. Vertical drilling, demolition, or excavation of pipes, terminals, piles or the like
must not be done within a safety distance for high-voltage cables.

Within the careful laying distance, high-voltage cables must be laid with great
care. Methods for careful exposure can be either by hand digging, sand suction,
or other suitable method. (See Figure 1 page 16).

More detailed information about the distance between objects and the grounded high-voltage
cable can be read in the Purchaser's document - Guidance for operations on the grounded
cable in the main network, which is available on the Purchaser's website.

Special application
The supplier must note that cable routing of 220 kV and 400 kV high voltage cables is not
supported by EBR training in cable routing. For cable routing of the transmission network's
high voltage cables, it is required that the installer is registered with the Swedish Electrical
Safety Agency under activity type Electricity network - High voltage.

2.7 Testing and commissioning


When testing and commissioning the Purchaser's plant parts, the following applies:

> During the test, the employer shall appoint a test leader with the task of being

2.8 Care measures in HVDC plant


Special application
When carrying out maintenance work in an HVDC system, it is important to consider the following;

> Different systems and different components in each system (eg inverters, DC
switchgear, cable, filter components, etc.) have different discharge times.
Function check of discharge equipment must be done before voltage test.

> Couplings are made to varying degrees by sequential coupling measures where disconnection,
blocking and earthing are included in a chain of measures. These measures do not always follow
the sequence specified in ESA. Maneuvering of individual objects is possible but should be avoided
for safety reasons, and may only take place with the permission of the electrical operator. Before
submitting the connection confirmation to the electrical conductor, a visual check must be made
that the intended connection position has been reached.

2.9 Maintenance measures in high-voltage cable systems


Completion
When managing measures on high-voltage cables, risk management must take into account any
operational high-voltage cable layings that have been put into operation. Special consideration
must be given to nearby high-voltage cable splices and any influence on induction. If it is found in
the risk management that the risk of injury is high, the influencing high-voltage cable must be
taken out of operation or the work interrupted. If risk management so permits, supplementary
safety measures can be carried out with shielding to limit any impact in the event of joint failures.

When backfilling after maintenance measures on a grounded high-voltage cable, an operating


certificate must be submitted only after protective backfilling has been carried out. The requirement for
a ground-laid high-voltage cable to be regarded as protective backfilled is 65 cm from the top of a high-
voltage cable to the ground surface.

2.10 Blasting in the vicinity of the Purchaser's electrical system

Special application

Explosion planning
When blasting next to the Purchaser's operational electrical systems, risk management must be carried
out with regard to both blasting technical risks and risks that are associated with the electrical system's
possible impact on charging and ignition kits. Considering the social significance of the electrical
installation and the electrical risks of the electrical installation if it is damaged during blasting, this must
also be taken into account when blasting next to the electrical installation.

Blasting must be planned in accordance with current regulations from the Swedish Work Environment

Authority, good explosion safety technical practice and in other respects in accordance with EBR IN068: 16.

TECHNICAL GUIDELINE 2020-12-01 TR13-03-02 ed. 3


37 (57)

Personnel carrying out blasting must have at least a competency certificate from ESA
Instructed Person. Alternatively, they must work under the supervision of an ESA Expert.
Instructed or Expert Electrical Safety Manager must be available at the workplace.

When blasting closer than 100 meters from the Purchaser's switchgear, or overhead line, (for
high voltage cable 20 meters), the blasting base must submit a blasting plane to the Purchaser no
later than three (3) weeks before blasting. As blasting can pose a serious risk to the electrical
systems' construction and operational reliability, the Purchaser may require blasting technical
control as well as equipment for vibration measurement.

Within a distance of 50 meters from the Purchaser's switchgear, overhead line or high
voltage cable, electrical ignition cables and detonator wires must not come into contact
with earth, as there may be a risk of accidental initiation due to ground potentials from the
power line. Non-electric ignition systems should be used in this area as they are not
initiated by electric fields. When the blasting plan for planned blasting work has been
submitted by the blasting base to the Purchaser, the following measures must be taken in
good time before the blasting:

> Purchase of vibration measuring equipment if the Purchaser so requires.

> If the blasting is deemed to require an interruption in the electrical system or other electrical
safety measures due to high risk factors, the blasting base must submit a work request.

> (including risk management) to the Purchaser's unit for operational planning. The work request
must be received by the Purchaser no later than ten (10) working days before the planned
blasting.

> The customer's unit for operational planning then informs those involved, for example the
electrical operations manager, maintenance engineer, project manager, maintenance supplier
and the supplier's responsible for blasting, via an operation message about blasting.

3.8 Blocking (protection against connection)


Completion
In connection with connections where there are several different operating orders and they
use the same connection limit, blocking must be performed for each operating order in a clear
manner, for example through individual signage.

Blocking of the Purchaser's disconnecting switch takes place via remote or distance
maneuvers. During blocking maneuvers, the electrical switch is blocked both mechanically
and electrically via the control system. These two barriers can be done in one or two steps.
Signage is done by reliable indication on the actuator for the blockage,
by indication in the control system and in the Purchaser's operational monitoring
system. Signage and blockage must be checked visually on site.

Special application
In the case of connections where disconnecting switches form the boundary of the workplace, electrical
safety conductors can carry out additional safety measures by fitting locks on the mechanical lock of the
actuator. The electrical safety manager is responsible for removing the lock before the operating
certificate is submitted, or before the work certificate is returned. See section (3.17, page 43).

3.9 Voltage test


Completion
In high-voltage systems with both AC and DC, as well as in systems that contain different
voltage levels, voltage testers must be clearly marked to prevent the risk of confusion, both
in terms of voltage type and voltage level. Voltage tests for alternating current (AC) may
only be performed with voltage testers intended for alternating current, while voltage tests
for direct current (DC) may only be performed with equipment intended for direct voltage.

Voltage tests on DC system neutral conductors are not possible for technical reasons
perform.

ground is applied as a replacement for the previously applied work ground. The
replacement work ground must be applied before the previous work ground is
removed. This can be done during work on capacitor units, carrier frequency lock,
current transformer, slacks (application or removal) or during induction, etc.

3.11.1 GIS switchgear

Special application
The 400 kV switchgear in Lindbacka is of the GIS model and equipped with an interlocking
chain that does not allow blocking before working ground.

3.11.2 Disconnecting circuit breakers in Ajaure, Untra and reactor circuit breakers in

cables

3.21.7.1 Work grounding Work

grounding within the workplace


After work grounding has been applied to the management's end points, work grounding and
equipotential bonding must take place at the workplace. The choice of method for work grounding and
equipotential bonding depends on the type of work.

After working grounding and equipotential bonding have been performed and before
starting work, the remaining induced voltage must be measured. Measurement is made
between the current object and soil. If the influence from the parallel line is so great that it
exceeds 50 V, the distance between working ground / equipotential bonding must be
reduced. This should be checked continuously via manual measurement or alarm function
as the residual induced voltage is constantly changing.

Important: If the distance between working ground / equipotential bonding is longer than
4 km, additional working ground must be applied so that the distance of 4 km is not
exceeded.

Below are a number of examples of complementary safety measures in


connection with work on parallel lines.

General information about work grounding and equipotential bonding

It is of the utmost importance that all working earths and equipotential bonding at a
workplace are connected to earth with the same earth extraction point. This avoids
separate systems with different potentials. The recommended value of the transition
resistance in the ground is <100 Ω. The employer at the Supplier has the ultimate
responsibility for determining a value that applies to the work in question.

Work ground for post pressing


A post that is to be erected next to a live pipe must be connected to the
workplace's common earth roof.

Grounding net (Carpet)


Grounding nets (nets, mats) are a method that can be used on the ground for, for
example, splicing, fastening, screw mounting, towing or braking place or the like, when
these works are carried out next to live release. The net is laid out on the ground so that
the entire workplace is covered according to (figure 3), and connected to the common
the same ground roof.

Fig. 3 shows lens splicing as an example of working earthing / equipotential bonding


with earthing net as a base.

Work grounding when winding


When tightening, it is important to take measures for work grounding and equipotential
bonding according to the pictures below. Both ends of the line must be earthed. Work
grounding is also needed along the conductors at regular intervals. Line carriages with built-on
trailer ground are suspended according to (figure 4) at the end points of the towing section (first
or second post closest to the brake or towing position) and also for certain intermediate posts at
regular intervals. The distance between these cable cars depends on the magnitude of the
induced voltage from parallel power lines.

Fig. 5 Grounding through cable car with attached trailer grounding

Grounding by line trolley with built-in trailer ground according to (fig. 5) must be done with at least 50
mm² Cu and a short-circuited spark gap to the ground conductor. The down line is mounted between
the lower arc ring (arc horn) and the rule so that it cannot abut against the phase line.

All machines and vehicles from which ropes run must be equipotential bonded (braking machine,
pilot machine, tractor, drum stand, trailer for pilot line and trailer for traction line) and connected
to a common ground. Trailing ground should be used on each line. There must be a distance for
the trailer earths. Once the phase and top lines have been laid, all lines must be connected
(equipotential bonded) and connected to a common
ground roof

Fig. 6 Grounding measures on brake position and traction position in connection with rope pulling.

3.21.7.2 Potential equalization of the workplace


In order to achieve a sufficiently low earth resistance for the relevant working earths, the
spark gap can be short-circuited at each power line pole along the relevant working area
(usually 1.5 - 3 km).

NOTE! Prior to mounting / dismounting grounding clamps, the spark gap must be
temporarily shorted with a working ground. Spring-loaded clamp of, for example,
the type of battery cables is not approved for use as a temporary short circuit of
spark gaps.

Short circuit of spark gap (Fig. 7) means a potential equalization. It provides the conditions
for an efficient (local) working ground on the pole.

1.2 Work
Clarification
Forest maintenance measures at the customer's electrical installations must be conducted so
that vegetation is not given the opportunity to involve electrical risks for the installation or for
the personnel who are to work with forest measures. The customer's lead streets must be tree-
safe.
Work must mainly be planned as non-electrical work, which means that the work must
preferably be carried out with automatic reconnection in operation. Removal of
vegetation that after risk management requires ESA methods Work Near Tension-
ANS, especially Work With Tension-sAMS, or Work Without Tension-AUS
shall be specially planned and executed in accordance with ESA rules.

1.3 Working method Working close to voltage - ANS

1.3.1 Generally

Clarification
Topping of tall trees under the bevel lines shall mainly be conducted as Work Near
Tension (ANS). If risk management identifies additional risks, alternative ESA Work
Without Voltage-AUS must be used. The work must be carried out so that the distance
between vegetation and live phase line is determined by measurement before the
topping.

1.4 Practical maintenance clearance of pipelines

1.4.1 Clearing in the main street


No supplementation, clarification or special application by ESA.

1.4.2 Clearing in a tree-safe pipeline

Special application
DC links with pole and neutral conductors in the same poles are built as a tree-
safe lead street.

1.4.3 Removal of storm-felled trees

Special application
Since the customer's lead streets are tree-safe, the customer's electrical system
manager has not seen the need to decide on special routines for this. Any
removal of storm-felled trees on some DC link return lines should be performed
by an ESA expert in view of the special risks associated with these lines.

Person - Non-electrical work, the Purchaser deviates from following the section
structure.

1 Non-electrical work
Special application
With proximity to electrical installation also refers to all maintenance work within the
management street. Depending on the design of the assignment, the distance in question
may also extend beyond the direct pipeline, but this is apparent from the employer's
planning and Risk-P.

Clarification
Everyone who professionally performs non-electrical work (the Purchaser's own employees
or the Supplier's employees) in a station facility (operating room) or within the pipeline
street must be trained in ESA Professional or ESA Instructed Person. Any lay people must be
accompanied by ESA Expert during the work.

1.1.1 Representative of the electrical installation manager

Clarification
The customer's maintenance supplier has the task of acting as the electrical installation manager's
representative. The customer's maintenance supplier must, in an internal routine, ensure which persons
have the authority to perform the task as a representative of the electrical installation responsible. The
plant responsible for the system must meet the following requirements:

> be electrically skilled, and,

> have the necessary competence and experience for the assignment.

It is the task of the electrical installation manager's representative to inform the instructed
electrical safety manager on site before starting non-electrical work. Thereafter, it is the
task of the instructed electrical safety manager to pass on information in agreement
to any additional staff.

1.1.2 Instructed person

Special application

> In good time before the start of the work, report this to the facility's
coordinator

> Before the Instructor enters the operating room, cable tunnel / cable culvert, supplementary
information must be provided by the electrical system manager's representative.

> Before access to the main street which means;

- work in the main street with machines, vehicles or equipment with a total height
higher than 2.3 meters, or,

- work with bulky equipment that is judged to mean that person plus equipment in
total can come within the management's minimum distance for non-electrical
work, supplementary information must be provided by the electrical system
manager's representative to the Instructed Person.

> When working in a main street that is not covered by the above, training in ESA Instructed
Person supplemented with the Purchaser's access rules for a main street is considered to
meet the requirements for instructed.

> Arrival and departure to the operating room, pipeline street or cable tunnel / cable culvert must always be

reported to the electrical operations manager.

1.1.3 Routine for supplementary information to the instructed person

Special application
Instruction must contain the following elements:

> General security regulations - see document ESA Agreement on access

> Local access rules - The customer's special rules that apply to the station or
management in question

> Local risks or limitations at the workplace


(eg known local risks, current minimum heights in relation to work tools, vehicles or
equipment, nearby or intersecting electrical installations belonging to another
electrical installation manager, etc.)

> Any safety measures taken by a professional at the workplace (eg barrier,
shielding, etc.)

> Any additional requirements for safety measures that the Electrical Safety Manager
must perform before starting work (eg, mechanical or electronic height limitation on
machines, crane plans, equipotential bonding of implements),

> Review of current contact routes in accordance with the ESA Access
Agreement
