Overhead power line contact is one of the largest single causes of fatalities associated with mobile plant and equipment. Contact with overhead power lines is a serious risk because any voltage that causes sufficient current to pass through the heart is potentially injurious or even fatal. There are legislative obligations on employers, self-employed persons and controllers of premises in regard to undertaking work in close proximity, or at an unsafe distance to overhead power lines.
Course Description:
This is a 2 day course which provides practical guidance in order to protect the health and safety of persons working near overhead power lines and associated electrical apparatus.
It provides guidance on the risk control measures, competency requirements and approach distances to live electrical conductors.
Course Content:
* Identification of the relevant legislative requirements including OHS Act 2000 and OHS Regulation 2001 including the Code of Practice - Work near overhead power lines.
* Principles of electricity, 3 phase power system.
* Electric shock and resuscitation.
* Safe work practices and procedures.
* Identification and confirmation of the approach distances for safe work and access near live overhead power lines and associated electrical apparatus.
* Identification and implementation of safe systems of work including safe work method statements.
* Hazard identification, risk assessment and control options prioritised. Development of risk assessment documentation and safe work method statements.
* Permit systems and established supporting procedural systems.
* Responsibilities identified for the safety observer, crane and plant operator in accordance with requirements and established procedures /systems of work to ensure safety measures are followed in the event of an incident.
* Reporting and notification procedures for working closer than the approach distances identified in the Code of Practice - Work near overhead power lines.
* Identification of electricity infrastructure for low voltage and high voltage overhead power lines.
* Relevant approach distances as defined in the WorkCover Code of Practice - Work Near Overhead Powerlines.
Course Outcome:
On successful completion of this course participants will receive a Statement of Completion.
