Audit
The hierarchy of controls has been applied when determining work methods involving electrical energy, with prioritisation given to higher order controls (elimination, isolation etc.)
Critical Risk Ref. Elimination
Only equipment (portable and fixed) that complies with Australian or international electrical standards shall be authorised for use.
Clear signage/labelling of isolation points/energy sources referenced on plant/equipment.
Critical Risk Ref. 7.1
Appropriate controls (plans, training, communications etc.) have been developed and implemented to manage risks associated with commissioning of equipment.
Construction wiring has been installed and certified as required by a competent persons in accordance with relevant legislation/ client requirements.
Critical Risk Ref. 7.8
All circuits and powered equipment have RCD protection.
Critical Risk Ref. 7.9
All electrical equipment tested and tagged (refer to EIMS-4-10276) and recorded on a site/project register.
Critical Risk Ref. 7.1
Only workers that are trained and qualified shall be authorised to preform work on electrical systems.
Critical Risk Ref. 7.2
Welding equipment is correctly earthed and staked as required by the OEM. Voltage reducing devices (VRD) are instal,ed and tested for all manual metal arc welding machines.
Critical Risk Ref. 7.3
Live cabling is protected from mechanical damage.
All temporary electrical leads are secured off the ground by insulated hooks and/or lead stands.
SWMS/JHA"S/Safe work instructions have been developed and approved for all activities involving the potential for contact with live conductors. If a risk of contact with electrical energy exist controls should include the use of insulated tools, gloves and mats etc.
Critical Risk Ref. 7.6
Indemnification of any love electrical circuits will be established prior to any penetrations of surfaces (walls, flooring and roofing)
Critical Risk Ref. 7.7
When working live overhead line equipment (OHLE) or live electrical parts, regulated safe working distances/exclusion zones are Identified and maintained.
