RISK ASSESMENT
-
Has an Electrical pre-start assessment and risk assessment been completed PRIOR to commencing work
-
Has the Electrical assessment been consulted amongst the team, and an induction of all persons on site been completed
-
Risks assessed as medium or low before work commences, demonstrates ALARP (as low as reasonable practicable)
-
Has the risk assessment considered all risks related to injury of persons as well as property damage
-
Have conditions onsite changed since the initial risk assessment
-
Risk controls are monitored to make sure they have been implemented as intended and are adequate
-
If permits have been issued, is there a job plan, work instructions, or an electrical wrap
-
A permit conditions being met
Equipment
-
Only non conducting ladders to be used on electrical work ( No Aluminium) -have fibreglass ladders been inspected within the last six months ( or as required by the construction site criteria)
-
For boom lift operators <br>, do they have a license to operate a elevated work platform
-
Has a pre start inspection been conducted on the elevated work platform ( EWP) and has a risk assessment been conducted for the use of the plant
-
Has any faulty, damaged or unserviceable electrical equipment not in use is tagged out with a "caution out of service tag" giving the details of the fault or problem, and has a suitable lock out enclosure or similar been applied
-
I lighting conditions on the worksite poor? Does the risk assessment indicate low light conditions and has appropriate task lighting been implemented
-
Insulated mats are to be of the correct rating for interior surfaces (3mm class A) for exterior (6mm class B) and free from contaminates, does the risk assessment identify exposure to live parts
-
If working near exposed live parts are busbar mats (class A) used to provide a barrier between the worker and live parts
-
Electrical equipment is labelled to indicate the day it is due for testing
-
If scaffolding is used has it been certified by a licensed scaffolder (over 4 m) and has it been a erected no closer than 3 m to the electrical parts
COMPETANCE
-

-
Has a HV access permit been issued? Has an authorised HV access sheet been completed? (note that HV audits are to be conducted by a specialist)
-
Person designing the Cathodic protection systems must be either an electrical engineer or a licensed electrical worker. Both must have a qualification and/or proven experience in Cathodic protection installation and design
-
For generators - operators and observer must have a generator connection disconnection competency based training record
-
Are electrical apprentices or trainees exposed to live electrical parts, and is the individual aware of what live work is deemed to be
TESTING
-
Has the equipment or into structure and which electrical work has been performed or installed, in tested to ensure that it is electrically safe, and a record of the test been entered into the electrical wrap
-
Has a certificate of test been issued
-
Portable electrical equipment is electrical integrity tested in accordance with standard AS3760, and tagged
-
Availability and currency of electrical schematics drawings for the plant
-
Safety equipment and testing instruments shall be visually inspected before use. Has the equipment been calibrated and tagged with in the last six months or on a register
-
Site logbooks updated with record of calibration, date and time of attendance and works undertaken
-
Records of instrument calibrations are entered on the job plan and transferred to the asset log in trim
SAFETY OBSERVER
-
Does the risk assessment require the appointment of a safety observer during the active electrical works
-
Is the safety observer caring and any other work function that compromises their role as a safety observer
-
Is the safety observer within 500 mm of the expose life part?
-
The safety observer shall communicate effectively with the worker or workers. Specialist equipment may be necessary in situations where there is a barrier to communication. Has this communication method in defined and recorded, and is there an emergency plan?
-
When electrical works at Height is required using an EWP, where is the electrical safety observer situated? Electrical safety code of practice does not permit the safety observer to be in the basket of the EWP. Does the safety observer have a competency operate the EWP?
-
Are all persons assisting (observer) in electrical work trained and competent in rescue and resuscitation and a working knowledge of electrical work? Current CPR (six months) and LVR (six months)?
-
Has the risk assessment been conducted to identify exclusion zones for access to live electrical (as per AS4836 section 2.4) (i.e.; within 3 m for competent electrical workers, within 500 mm or competent electrical workers and appropriate PPE
