Live Electrical Work Safe Work Procedure
SWMS Live Electrical Work
The live electrical work method statement is assessing risk after identifying the hazards connected with undertaking work on live electrical systems and the subsequent implementation of risk controls to manage risk.
Electrical SWMS safe work method statements require that hazard control measures be implemented per procedures for electrical safety when working on live electrical equipment.

Live Electrical Work Method Statement
Workplace Health and Safety has conducted a comprehensive hazard analysis for live electrical work, e.g. working on live electrical systems and developed risk control measures per the hierarchy of controls for identified hazards.
Assess and review health and safety practices in the workplace to control risk
Consultation with employees on health and safety matters for the identification of hazards with work on live electrical equipment
Risk assessment to identify workplace hazards and risks that may potentially pose an immediate threat of death or serious injury
Health and safety planning for working live electrical, e.g. safety precautions when working on live electrical circuits
WHS consultation and participation processes ensure adequate health and safety communication
Workplace environmental hazards, e.g. working in hazardous areas, electrical hazard, fall from height
Tripping hazards in the workplace resulting in injuries caused by slips trips and falls
Implementation of controls for live electrical work, e.g. isolation of hazards and services when working on live electrical circuits, permit to work on live electrical systems
Health and safety at work information for employees to manage risk and compliance
Electrical testing equipment, e.g. electrical test device used when working on live electrical equipment
Insulated tools when live working on electrical circuits, e.g. electrical live working tools
Electrical hazards and safety measures for overhead power lines, e.g. safe distance from power lines, working safely near live electrical apparatus
Contact with energised electrical equipment resulting in electrocution death, electrical shock and potential injuries from electrical shock
Electrical spotter to warn persons working live electrical, e.g. live electrical work hazards
Working on live electrical equipment per live electrical working guidelines adhering to electrical live working procedures, e.g. how to work on live electrical
Live electrical work incomplete requiring the implementation of electrical hazard control measures per live electrical work risk assessment
Working at heights on electrical safety ladders and electrically insulated aerial work platforms for work on live electrical systems
Hazardous chemicals used in connection with working on live electrical
Hazardous manual tasks in connection with undertaking work on live electrical systems
Personal protective equipment, e.g. PPE for live electrical work, gloves for live electrical work and electrical PPE clothing
Health and safety training for workers, e.g. live electrical work training
Workplace housekeeping incorporating material handling and storage safety
Legislative and regulatory requirements for compliance with WHS legislation, e.g. code of practice live electrical work, live electrical work regulations and work health and safety standards
Monitor and review of risk controls, e.g. assessment and review the effectiveness of control measures
Electrician tasks and activities in connection with working on live electrical systems

Live Electrical Work Procedure
Live electrical work safe work procedure shall assess the risk of construction high-risk activities involved with working on live electrical equipment.
High-risk work activities that may expose workers to WHS hazards are likely to include but not be limited to:
Working on or near live electrical equipment, e.g. live parts of electrical equipment
Implementing an isolation procedure for electrical equipment to ensure electrical equipment safety
Lockout electrical equipment per live electrical work requirements
Work on live electrical, e.g. working with live electrical wires
Use of electrical testing tools, e.g. live electrical testing
Other working live electrical hazards.
