sec.195 Electrical work on or near energised electrical equipment

A person conducting a business or undertaking must ensure electrical work is not performed on or near energised electrical equipment unless— it is necessary in the interests of health and safety that the work is performed on or near the electrical equipment while the equipment is energised; or It may be necessary that life-saving equipment remain energised and operating while electrical work is performed on or near the equipment. it is necessary that the electrical equipment is energised in order for the work to be performed properly; or it is necessary for testing the electrical equipment under section 196 (1) ; or there is no reasonable alternative way of carrying out the work. It may be necessary, to avoid widespread outages, that works of an electricity entity remain energised and operating while electrical work is performed on or near the works. Maximum penalty—60 penalty units. The electrical work that may be performed under subsection (1) (a) , (b) or (d) includes testing of the energised electrical equipment. detecting a fault or defect in electrical equipment locating a fault or defect in electrical equipment measuring the performance of electrical equipment verifying compliance with the wiring rules (sec.195-ssec.1) A person conducting a business or undertaking must ensure electrical work is not performed on or near energised electrical equipment unless— it is necessary in the interests of health and safety that the work is performed on or near the electrical equipment while the equipment is energised; or It may be necessary that life-saving equipment remain energised and operating while electrical work is performed on or near the equipment. it is necessary that the electrical equipment is energised in order for the work to be performed properly; or it is necessary for testing the electrical equipment under section 196 (1) ; or there is no reasonable alternative way of carrying out the work.
