This guidance from Electrical Safety First has been produced in conjunction with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in order to provide practical guidance for employers, employees sub-contractors, and the self-employed on the management of electrical safety, with particular emphasis on low voltage safe isolation procedures to be followed during construction and refurbishment projects, and during maintenance activities.
The guidance is aimed at protecting employees, sub-contractors, and other workers against serious or fatal electrical injuries.
Although the principles apply generally, it is particularly relevant to circumstances where work is being carried out in the presence of other trades, and to sites where more than one electrician is employed.
The guidance covers the following topics in more detail:
- Legislation.
- HSE guidance.
- Site safety management.
- Safe isolation procedures.
- Additional precautions.
