sec.135Using plant near electricity

### sec.135 Using plant near electricity A surface mine must have a standard operating procedure for using fixed and mobile plant near electrical cables, overhead electrical conductors, or electrical equipment. The procedure must provide for the following— recording power line heights at each location where a vehicle may pass; keeping a register of the height of vehicles and mobile plant used on site; fixing standard travelling routes at the mine; travelling other than on a standard travelling route; inspecting, and reporting on, travelling routes for plant not included in the register mentioned in paragraph (b) ; preventing incidents involving electrical contact, including, for example, by— using barriers, signs, indicators and alarms; and requiring stated clearance distances between plant and electrical conductors; and isolating electrical conductors.
