Are cables and leads protected from damage?

Are tools and equipment checked by users, visually examined on-site and regularly inspected and tested by a competent person?

Are warning signs and notices displayed for electrical work?

Has a permit to work been implemented for electrical work?

Have all necessary services been provided on site before work begins and have you also identified existing services present on site (e.g. electric cables or gas mains) and taken effective steps, if necessary, to prevent danger from them?

Have hidden electricity cables and other services been located (e.g. with a locator and plans) and marked, and have you taken precautions for safe working?

Where mains voltage has to be used, are trip devices, e.g. residual current devices (RCDs), provided for all equipment?

Where there are overhead lines, has the electricity supply been turned off, or have other precautions been taken, such as providing 'goal posts' or taped markers?
