Full Description
This Guide provides information on managing the risks of unauthorised persons working near low voltage overhead service lines near structures and buildings.
For example:
- painting or maintenance work
- erecting scaffolding
- operating motor vehicles e.g. concrete trucks or furniture removal vans
- minor building work e.g. erecting a small shed, or
- other non-electrical work where there is a risk of contact with a low voltage overhead line.
Unauthorised persons are people without the relevant technical knowledge and experience of electricity transmission and distribution networks and associated electrical equipment that will not be able to identify the operating voltage of electric lines and recognise the associated dangers.
Electric lines in this Guide (and Figure 1) are:
- low voltage overhead lines including service lines owned by the Electricity Supply Authority
- low voltage overhead lines forming part of a consumerβs installation
- insulated low voltage aerial conductors and associated electrical equipment connected from the point of supplyβeither the overhead electric pole located on the street or the consumerβs boundaryβand terminated on the consumerβs building, pole or structure at the point of attachment, or
- insulated low voltage aerial consumerβs mains and associated electrical equipment forming part
of the consumerβs electrical installation.
