Assessment of Work Methods to Undertake High Voltage Overhead Line Work Guide

2021

This 2021 version of the Guide amends and replaces the September 2016 version 'Guide for the Selection of Work Methods to Undertake High Voltage Overhead Line Work'). The key changes made in 2021 have been to align wording with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015; update the list of legislative and overseas reference documents; amend the example of a risk assessment flowchart: and include an appendix for high-risk work activities that are excluded from being undertaken live.

This Guide also aims to promote discussion on areas for further improvement in management of High Voltage Live Line Work in the industry and will be regularly reviewed and updated. Feedback from all interested parties is encouraged and should be sent to admin@eea.co.nz.
