4.1. DANGER FROM LIVE EQUIPMENT

WARNING
The OLE must be treated as Live until an OLE Permit to Work has been
Issued and members of the work party have ‘signed on’.

All Workers must be vigilant of the risks and dangers of working near Live, high-voltage
equipment.
A site-specific risk assessment must be either carried out, or supported by, a Person
Responsible for Electrification Safety (PRES) before any work activity takes place.
The only occasions upon which the OLE may be approached are when:
 a Vicinity Form has been Issued (refer Section 11 Vicinity Form); or
 an OLE Permit to Work has been Issued (refer Section 10.2.1 Issue of OLE Permit
to Work).

WARNING
Always follow these lifesaving rules of:
 always have a valid permit to work; and
 always test before touch.
