Electrical Safety Rules & Operating Procedures

We develop Electrical Safety Rules and High Voltage and Low Voltage Operating Procedures to ensure employees and contractors working on or near electrical apparatus can operate safely and effectively.

Our HV professionals and electrical engineers have extensive experience across renewable and thermal generation, transmission, distribution and rail networks, HV operations, control rooms and the powergrid interface.

We design and prepare Electrical Safe Access Rules and Procedures for high and low voltage plants across networks, power stations, utilities, mines and HV customers.

Our experts also provide an audit service to test compliance against regulations.

Procedures are prepared to be consistent with:

  • Government Regulations and Codes of Practice
  • Network Utility Connection Guidelines for High Voltage Connections and Embedded Generators
  • Company operational procedures, including Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) procedures
  • Company installed equipment and manufacturers manuals
  • Industry best practice.
