Working safely near live electrical apparatus as a non-electrical worker

In order to manage the hazards associated with working in proximity to powerlines, there are clearance distances around powerlines that apply. It is important to take these distances into account when designing structures or planning to work near powerlines as it may affect the work practices or the use of equipment or structures such as scaffolding.

Damage to underground assets such as electric cables, gas, water and sewage pipes caused by excavation work can result in serious or potentially fatal incidents including burns, electric shock and gas releases or explosions as well as disrupting the electricity, gas or water supply. Incidents may also arise when damage to these assets is left unreported and unrepaired.

The target audience for this course is non-electrical workers who must maintain compliance when working safely up to the defined safe approach distance (SAD) near energised electrical apparatus, including electrical powerlines.
