Live LV Electrical Work (Guide)

2017

Note: File may be downloaded after completion of your purchase

As a result of changes in the SM-EI 2015, the EEA Safety Standards and Procedures Group (SSPG) has completed a brief review of the Guide to Live Low Voltage (LV) Electrical Work.

The principle amendments to the Guide have arisen from new or amended provisions in SM-EI 2015, particularly to rule 3.717. Rule 3.717, now includes a requirement for a minor works management system whenever live LV work is performed. Other specific amendments include:

• Inclusion of WorkSafe advice that AS/NZS 4836 does not apply to works via Electricity (Safety) Regulation 100

• Revised definition for 'secondary point of contact'

• Work planning and control section revised to be consistent with SM-EI and new workplace legislation

• Section 6 now requires that when joining cables the neutral/earth must be the first cable connected.

Feedback on this Guide would be welcome and should be sent to admin@eea.co.nz.
