Performance Criteria
Element: Prepare to work safely near electrical assets
Relevant state/territory safe work legislative requirements are identified
Unsafe distances (clearance zones, no go zones or exclusion zones) near low and high voltage power lines are confirmed and applied to safe work planning
Safe work practices and procedures are planned in accordance with state/territory regulatory requirements, codes of practice and workplace policies
Safe approach distances are identified and confirmed in accordance with state/territory legislation
Potential hazards are identified, risks are assessed and risk control options are prioritised and documented in accordance with workplace operating procedures and state/territory regulatory requirements
Incident response plans are developed in accordance with safe systems of work, job safety, environmental analysis, work method statements and state/territory regulatory requirements
Element: Carry out work near electrical assets safely
Appropriate work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) principles and practices are applied
Identified hazards are monitored during work tasks
Changes to assessed risks are monitored
Risk control options are implemented, monitored and amended as necessary to ensure safe work operations
