The following are some of the key points that are taken from the original file of risk assessment, to download the complete MS Word format, click on the link given at the end of these points.
Hazard
- Cable pulling through containment system
- Contact with the live electrical conductor
- Accidental or unauthorized livening of the circuit
Control Measures
- Operatives are to ensure the cable runs smoothly
- Cable containment system.
- Position to provide a straight pull.
- Mechanical means of lifting for heavy SWA cables to be utilized if possible. If mechanical means are not appropriate, only suitably fit operatives instructed in manual handling techniques to carry out this task.
- The team pulls to be coordinated and controlled.
- Work to be carried out within an exclusion zone.
- Where practical, the electrician is to be the sole key holder to the room of installation.
- Sign the work area as live once made life.
- Before making a board live, the zone must be checked to ensure there is no cable work being undertaken.
- Only trained [Company Name] electricians or competent sub-contractors
- Work on access routes to be restricted to others and be subject to permit to work/entry system.
- All circuit boards within the panel are to be isolated at the main distribution board isolators and locked off with a pin and padlock, (before the Energy management panel is energized). Start with everything dead.
- Once the unit is energized, test each distribution board for the zone with lamps to ensure that they are dead.
