4) When doing sectional rush repairs, they should report to Operational Control Center for approval,
and ground the steel rail through OV cabinet (rail potential device cabinet) to keep rail potential safe.
4.2
4.2 When getting into the site for operation, they should ensure protection by following the below
requirements:
1
1) Before contacting metal component or equipment (especially in humid or water logging site), they
must test and make sure that the metal component or equipment is not live, and then contact it.
2
2During rush repair, the discovered unidentified cable and bare wire are considered as live ones.
3
3) If upper device gets loose, strictly forbid people to pass.
4
4) As for the indistinct place which has been submerged, arrange people to explore a safe path. If
theres opening or pit on the ground, set a personnel side station to monitor and protect it.
4.3
4.3 During the emergency rescue, if electrical operation is involved, qualified personnel must be
arranged for that operation. During the operation, it must:
1
1) Strictly perform power cut, live part verification, ground connection, hanging warning signs and other
technical safety measures, and set corresponding safeguard measures according to the site situation.
2

2) Electrician shall wear insulating gloves to do electrical operation. Hot-line work is strictly forbidden.
Closely follow the principle of power cut first, operation second to conduct electrical operation. (If the
