Key Concepts

Electricity at Work Regulations

These are statutory guidelines designed to ensure safety around electrical installations and equipment. They require measures to disconnect and secure electrical sources so that equipment is fully isolated from any supply, helping to protect workers from electrical hazards during maintenance or repair work.

Safe Isolation Procedure

This is a systematic method used to completely disconnect and secure electrical equipment from any energy sources before any work is carried out. It ensures that after disconnection, the equipment cannot be accidentally re-energized, thereby maintaining a safe work environment in compliance with electrical safety regulations.
