• New drawings must be reproduced that identify the services clearly.

• Live services (underground, embedded, concealed or overhead) are to be eliminated by relocating or diverting services away from the work zone. If this cannot be done, one or more of the following controls must be used:

  Select De-energies the service Physical barrier to protect the service Elevating the service out of the work zone Concealing the service behind a physical barrier Preventing work activities encroaching safe approach distances by installing physical barriers or selecting smaller equipment or using alternative work methods Safety Essential Exemption has been approved for the works

  • De-energies the service
  • Physical barrier to protect the service
  • Elevating the service out of the work zone
  • Concealing the service behind a physical barrier
  • Preventing work activities encroaching safe approach distances by installing physical barriers or selecting smaller equipment or using alternative work methods
  • Safety Essential Exemption has been approved for the works

• Potholing and Safe Approach Distances for Underground Services

  

• Prior to any surface disturbance, have all services been located by
