Control of Hazardous Energies Standard / V5 10032026
d) ensure the batteries and capacitors are wired with the correct polarity as per the wiring diagrams and that all terminals are tight e) defective batteries and capacitors must be disposed of in accordance with local legislation f) insulated tools approved for the rated voltage must be used when working around live, exposed conductors Have limited functionality and be with fixed test leads or be multi-meters with an audible alert function to warn the user in the event the meter function selector and test leads positions are not compatible. Test probes must be selected to match the physical requirements of the test point and be in accordance with local electrical regulatory requirements. Non-contact voltage detectors are for use only with non-contact voltage portals or for double checking that the lockout boundary is in electrically safe work condition. Non-contact voltage detectors are not allowed for ‘test-before-touch’ verification. Mandatory when performing energised work (in extraordinary circumstances under an approved special permit) that requires using the tools inside the Limited Approach Boundary or Restricted Approach boundary.
The requirements for tools to be used for testing for the absence of voltage
When to use insulated (voltage- rated), approved tools?
2. Roles and Responsibilities for Control of Hazardous Energies
The definitions of roles and responsibilities used within this GWO Standard are based on common elements of globally recognised standards and are not aligned to a specific regional standard or safe system of work. They provide a general reference for development of training programmes and training providers should adapt these terms where required during training to align to the relevant terminology applicable in their region.
Note
Roles
Responsibilities (limitations to what can and cannot be)
Qualified Person
A person who has demonstrated skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of equipment and installations specific to their work and has received safety training to identify the hazards and reduce the associated risk. Examples of responsibilities: performing isolations and testing, creating a safe work condition for others to work under, lead job briefing, lead and supervise work parties. A person who is not a Qualified Person and does not have any responsibilities, given that this person generally needs control, instruction, and supervision to carry out assigned working activities.
