Transcript
LOW VOLTAGE MAIN AND SUBMAIN ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION All reasonable steps MUST be taken by Contractors to secure the health and safety of individuals involved with electrical work. Employees MUST have received sufficient information, instruction and training. The University of Birmingham has adopted the Health Technical Memorandum (HTM) 2020 Electrical Safety Code for low voltage systems as its electrical policy. Guidelines Contractors MUST ensure that risks are reduced to a minimum by following this guidance: Inform The Supervisor of the need to undertake work affecting Low Voltage (LV) Distribution systems. (Those occupying the building should also be informed). Deal with emergency situations as appropriate. Complete an assessment of the hazards and risks associated with the electrical work. Provide a Method Statement/Safe System of Work as necessary. Obtain an "Electrical" Permit to Work from the University's (LV) Authorised Person if required. Use the University LV Authorised Personnel to identify the main isolation points. Use the LV Authorised Personnel to control, isolate, issue documentation and re-instate the main isolation points. Provide dead at point of work on the isolated circuits before work commences. Isolation Identify the correct LV points which will isolate the circuits to be worked on. Prove the LV points. Remove the fuse (links) and withdraw circuit breakers. Apply CAUTION notice and locks where possible, use (lockout box). Provide dead at point of work throughout the task. Re-instate Prove to the University LV Authorised Person that the installation is safe before re-energising. Cancel Permit to Work documentation as necessary. Remove all CAUTION notices and locks. Re-energise system. Visually check system with University LV Authorised Person.
