hazards.

DHI-EHS-HSM-010 (March 2014), Page 2 of 12

2.0 PROCEDURE

2.1 Temporary Electrical Supply

Overhead Cables
 Overhead supply from the supply point or metering point to the distribution boards on the site shall
be of a robust pattern and preferably pliable and wire armoured with a further outer sheath of
insulating material. Braided screened cable may be used but the more usual types will be PVC
insulated, wire armoured and PVC sheathed cable.
 All these cables must be properly terminated and have suitable and efficient protective devices
such as H.R.C. fuses or moulded circuit breakers.
 The cables shall be so sited as to present the minimum of obstruction on the site.

Underground Cables
 The cables must be suitable for the duty and loading expected, e.g., armoured PVC cables.
 The cables should be buried at a Safe depth and their routes clearly marked both on the site and
on the site plans.
 The cables should be properly terminated and be provided with efficient circuit protection.
 Cable routes shall be so arranged that the minimum of obstruction be caused.

Distribution Cabling
 These cables will normally be multi-strand multi-core armoured PVC cables but, in certain
cases, may take the form of mineral insulated copper clad (m.i.c.c.) cables. The latter type should
be sheathed with PVC
 The installation must be so arranged as to prevent the need for long trailing cables. Socket
outlets should be located as near the working point as possible.
 Power and lighting circuits should be kept separate.
 Adequate records should be made of all parts of the installation and should be kept up to date
when alteration or extensions are made.

2.2 Distribution Boards

These shall be accommodated in weatherproof positions or cabinets. They should be proofed against
interference or unauthorised operation and they should be large enough to accommodate all the
necessary apparatus required. Each circuit should be clearly labelled and a circuit diagram should be
located at each board. Boards shall be positioned such that extension leads to power tools are no more
than 30m in length.

2.3 Earthing and Grounding

The entire distribution system, and all connected apparatus, must be efficiently earthed. The earth
lead and the earth continuity conductors must be connected to an efficient 'earth'.

 The electrical conductivity or impedance of the earth continuity conductor, including metal
conduits, metal cable sheaths or armouring must be sufficiently low to provide adequate and

DHI-EHS-HSM-010 (March 2014), Page 3 of 12

 efficient protection when earth faults occur. This impedance must be related to the fuse or
overload ratings of the protective devices but should never exceed 1 ohm.
 Each installation must be provided with an efficient earth electrode, of low impedance, together
with adequate earth leads and earth leads and earth continuity conductors.
 Earth continuity of all circuits and of all apparatus shall be tested by means of a 'loop tester' with
an appreciable current of the order of 20 amperes.
 All temporary distribution boards shall be externally grounded regardless of their status as being
‘internally grounded’.

2.4 Electrical Shock Protection Devices (Residual Current Device (RCD), Electric Leakage Circuit breaker
(ELCB), Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI))
An RCD or ELCB or GFCI rated at 30mA (milliamp) is to be installed to all distribution boards and tested
before use on each shift. Installation must be carried out by suitable qualified electricians and arranged
to protect persons who may be exposed to harmful electrical current.

2.5 Earth Leads

 Earth leads must be coloured green and yellow, should be of stranded copper or copper alloy
with a cross section of at least 6 sq.mm. The maximum size need not exceed 70 sq.mm.
 Every earthing connection and joint must be properly made by means of efficient clamps or
couplings. Non-ferrous materials should be used

2.6 Wiring and Cables

 All interval wiring shall conform to the relevant local / international regulations & standards.
 Other than supplies for welding purposes, cables carrying a voltage to earth in excess of 65V shall
have continuous metal armour or sheathing which has been effectively earthed. Where trailing
cables are concerned, this earthing should be in addition to the normal cable earth conductor.
 All cables shall be sheathed overall.
 Where cables need to be buried, they shall be set at least 18 ins. (0.5m.) below final ground level
and be protected by tiles or safely enclosed in G.I. pipe, if using a G.I. pipe ensure settlement
does not create a risk of shearing at pipe ends.
 When the trench is filled in, surface markers should indicate the cable route.
 Low and medium voltage cables suspended shall have bold marking erected to indicate their
presence. Where these cables need to cross open areas, or where spans of 10 ft. (3m) or more
are involved, a catenary wire on poles or other supports will provide a convenient means of
suspension. Minimum height should be 19 ft. (5.8m) above ground.
 If cables are required to be laid on the ground on a temporary basis, additional protection must be
provided.
 Joints in cables should be avoided wherever possible. Where unavoidable, they should only be
made in purpose-built housing.
 Cables on site are almost inevitably subjected to rough treatment. Special care should therefore
be taken to ensure that earth - continuity conductor remains intact because, if it gets broken, the
supply will not be interrupted, but the whole system will no longer be Safe.

DHI-EHS-HSM-010 (March 2014), Page 4 of 12

2.7 Extension Cables/Cords
All extension cables / cords shall have a current inspection tag affixed and shall be checked for damage
prior to use.
Extension cables / cords in one office shall not be used to supply power to another office, building or
adjacent offices. Cables / Cords may not run through doors, windows or ceilings unless for the purposes
of temporary construction which require the cable to be physically protected from damage.
Extension cables / cords shall not be overloaded and care should be taken to ensure that the cable /
cord have sufficient capacity to carry the electrical load.
Extension cables / cords that are frayed or have insulation tears, cracks or abrasions or with bent,
broken or “spread” prongs shall not be used.

2.8 Welding Transformer

 The welding transformers must be connected to the supply by heavy duty cables, and an
efficient isolating switch, together with protective fuses or circuit-breaker, should be located in an
accessible position - usually on the transformer tank. Fixed transformers should be permanently
wired in conduit or armoured cable but moveable or transportable items require heavy duty flexible
cables, preferably armoured.
 Insulated flexible cables must be provided for the welding cable to the electrode holder and care
should be taken to provide an effective return lead from the work piece to the transformer. The
welding transformer should be efficiently earthed; this will automatically provide an earth
connection for the welding return lead.
 A properly constructed and insulated electrode holder should be used. It should have the
insulated handle so arranged that accidental contact with live parts cannot be made. The holder
should be well balanced and easy to handle. Although the welder should be equipped with
suitable clothing and gloves the latter cannot, and should not, be relied upon as insulation.
 Provision should be made for accommodating the holder from the supply. Although electric arcs
for welding do not normally exceed 100 volts AC or DC, all electrical equipment, auxiliary cables
and connections should be checked frequently. Special low voltage devices are available and
should be used in hazardous conditions, e.g. where the welder is standing on or surrounded by
earthed metal.

2.9 Lighting
General Site Lighting

 Temporary lighting must conform to the following points:

 Lamps and fittings must be of weatherproofed construction.
 Secure runs for all cables.
 Cables should be of the armoured or screened pattern, including an earthing core to
which the metal work of the lamps and supporting structures should be bonded.
 Lamp holders fitted with pin-contacts intended to be pressed through the cable sheath
should NOT be used.
 Lamps should be of sufficient output to provide even and adequate illumination with no
'black spots' in between pools of light.

DHI-EHS-HSM-010 (March 2014), Page 5 of 12

  Hazard or obstruction lighting
It is a requirement that all obstructions, excavations, and any other impedance to pedestrians or
vehicle traffic shall be provided with warning lamps. The warning lamps can be run at either 110
volts or 24 volts but must never be supplied at the full mains voltage. Installation should
conform to the following:
 110-volt or 24-volt supply.
 The supply must be properly earthed at the transformer.
 If metal barriers are used these must be bonded together and earthed.
Fittings must be of weatherproof construction.

3.0 Others
3.1 Plant Used on Construction Work
 Heavy plant and motors of 5hp and over. The supply to these should be as follows:
 400 volts, 3 phase, 50 Hz.
 Cables shall be of a robust, pliable wire, armoured type, properly routed.
 Local mains switches and circuit breakers shall be installed in a semi permanent,
weatherproofed, tamper-proofed, cubicle or cabinet.
 The equipment shall be provided with a monitored-earth protection.
 Plugs and socket outlets must be of a specialized non-interchangeable pattern completely
different from those on 240 volt, 110 volt, or 24 volt supplies.
 Other plant, etc, and motors of up to 5 hp.
It is usual for these to operate at a mains voltage of 240 volts. All plant, motors, equipment, lights,
heaters, cookers, and any other appliances used at this voltage must be Safe before being taken into
use and must comply with the following:

 Cabling should be as in Section Wiring and Cables.

 Local switches for the mains supply, circuit breakers, fuses, etc., should be installed correctly in
semi-permanent weatherproofed, tamper-proofed cubicles or cabinets.

 Plugs and socket outlets should be of robust construction and must be non-interchangeable with
those used for other voltages.

3.2 Auxiliary Fittings

 Lamp holders
Brass lamp holders should not be used anywhere on site, except in well constructed fixed fittings. All
lamp holders should be fitted with a protective skirt forming part of, or securely attached to the lamp
holder so that the brass cap (either screw or bayonet) of the lamp cannot be touched during the fitting
or removal of the lamp.

 Screw cap electric lamps and fittings

DHI-EHS-HSM-010 (March 2014), Page 6 of 12

 The screw cap of this type of lamp is part of the electrical circuit; therefore the wiring must be
arranged so that the live side of the circuit is connected to the centre contact of the lamp holder and
the neutral side to the screw part of the lamp holder. The lamp holder must be fitted with a protective
skirt as in (i) above. Great care must be taken to ensure that the polarity of individual circuits
containing such lamp holders remains constant, i.e., live side to centre contact, even during, and
especially after, alterations, repairs, additions, etc.

Screw cap festoon lighting fittings having two pins, which penetrate the insulation of flat twin cable,
shall NOT be used because:

 it cannot be guaranteed that the centre contact the lamp holder is in contact with the live side
of the circuit, and
 two small, almost invisible holes are left in the sheath and insulation and these affect the
integrity of the insulation rendering it liable to breakdown, leakage and shock.
This is the correct method of wiring a screw cap lamp holder. If a fuse is fitted into a circuit it must be
on the live side not the negative side.

 Plugs and socket outlets

It is not expected that anything larger than 16-ampere size will be needed for general application,
apart from those instances where distribution cables may be connected to sub-distribution boards via
heavy-duty plugs and socket outlets.

On heavy equipment running off 400 volts the supply should be provided with some form of
monitored-earth protection, and therefore plugs and sockets of a specialized non-interchangeable
pattern will be required. These must be of adequate size and strength for the voltages and current
involved.

Plugs and socket outlets in all offices, stores, etc., may be of the 13 ampere fused type, made of
tough insulating material. These provide an excellent method of ensuring closely rated fuse
protection for individual items of equipment.

The use of fully waterproofed plugs and sockets (or cable connectors where applicable) should be
restricted for the use of extension leads to tools, equipment, lights, etc., which are liable to be used in
the early stages of construction work where it can be expected that the cables and connectors will be
on damp or muddy ground or even completely under water. The reason for this restriction is that
certain types of waterproof connections are hard to make - this leads to the waterproofing skirt being
deliberately cut away. If waterproof plugs, etc., were in general use this would eventually lead to the
situation where an accident would occur, possibly with fatal results.

Plugs and socket outlets and cable connectors used for different voltages must be non-
interchangeable with those of other voltages. It is also advisable to label the sockets, e.g., a 110-volt
socket should have label saying, ‘Use only 110v equipment’.

3.3 Flammable and Explosive Conditions

When in the presence of flammable liquids and vapours (petroleum, oil, liquefied petroleum, oil,
chemicals, liquefied petroleum gases, hydrogen, etc.), special precautions are necessary to ensure
that, should a flammable atmosphere arise, no electrical source of ignition will be present.

4.0 PRE-QUALIFICATION

4.1 Register
All temporary power supplies and electrical tools being brought on or used at the project shall be
recorded on the electrical safety register using form Appendix A. The action is to be carried out
normally by the onsite stores personnel or other appropriate person, this requirement applies to sub
contractors also.

4.2 Inspection and Testing

The temporary power supply at all sites shall be tested and inspected at three monthly intervals by
competent personnel.
Portable electrical tools, tools and extension cables / cords shall be inspected and tagged at three
monthly intervals by competent personnel.
Tools and equipment shall be inspected frequently using form Appendix B as the record of inspection.

4.3 Tagging
After the pre-use equipment inspection, the competent person should attach one of the following sticker
tags as appropriate: "PASSED" (Green), "FAIL" (Red). Obtain Electrical sticker tags from EHS
Department (Red tagging an item means it must not be used until the associated concern is rectified by
a competent person). See Appendix A for examples of tags.

5.0 TRAINING
 A “Qualified Electrician” will require appropriate training and experience to be deemed “competent”
to perform electrical work over 50 volts.

 Extra high voltage work requires specific training carried out be a competent person or training
provider.

 Unqualified electrical employees who may be permitted to work below 50 volts will require specific
training to be able to carry out this work in a competent manner. In addition this those persons
must work under the guidance and general supervision of a suitably qualified Electrician.

 Unqualified employees who may assist the general duties of a qualified electrician will require in
house training in general electrical safety procedures to enable recognition of electrical hazards
and controls.
 First aid training is mandatory under some regulatory authorities and where this is not a legal
requirement it is strongly recommended that employees or contractors who carry out electrical
work have at least CPR training. This is required to be updated as a minimum every 2 years.
