SAFE ACCESS PROCEDURES High Voltage

Electrical Apparatus


Safe Access Procedures Version 1

PURPOSE The purpose of these Safe Access Procedures is to provide and maintain safe operating systems, controlling work on or in the vicinity of electrical apparatus SCOPE These Safe Access Procedures define the principles and electrical safety procedures to be followed at Brisbane Airport For any work practice not covered in these Safe Access Procedures and all other definitions in regard to High Voltage and associated electrical apparatus, reference shall be made to the national guidelines (NENS) on electrical safety and any relevant state code of practice. Disclaimer This Safe Access Procedure (SAP) is prepared for, and used by, personnel of Brisbane Airport Corporation Pty Ltd (BAC). This is an internal HV document and BAC staff are required to comply with this SAP as a minimum in conjunction with such other controls as are determined to be necessary after conducting a risk assessment. This SAP is provided to persons not employed by BAC on the basis that it is to be used as an aid to them in preparing their own safe work procedures after identifying potential risks to health and safety that shall be addressed in performing work on or about BAC's property. Whilst every effort has been made by BAC to ensure the accuracy of this SAP, it does not purport to be a definitive statement of the risks associated with work on HV apparatus whilst on BAC property. However, the SAP does represent BAC's determination of appropriate risk control measures in relation to the matters covered by this SAP as at the date of this document. All persons engaged in work on HV apparatus on BAC property, including HV personnel are required to conduct independent hazard identification and risk assessment before any work is commenced. In undertaking the hazard identification and risk assessment regard is to be had to all relevant information. This SAP is only one source of relevant information. Failure to conduct hazard identification, risk assessment or prepare a job safety analysis, where required, or failure to consider this or other relevant SAP's in these processes will be considered by BAC to be a serious safety breach and may result in the immediate cancellation of any contract to perform work and immediate removal from BAC property.
