FOREWORD
Safety Rules are provided to ensure that work can be undertaken without hazard from power
station equipment.
The Safety Rules are mandatory. It is the duty of every person who may be concerned with
work on the system to make themselves thoroughly familiar with the Safety Rules and
appropriate support documents. In addition all persons have a general duty to be conversant
with and to observe statutory requirements relating to any activities with which they have an
involvement.
It shall be the duty of every employee to take reasonable care for the health and safety of
his/herself and other persons who may be affected by their acts or omissions at work.
If, whether intentionally or through neglect or carelessness, an employee fails to observe the
Rules, or unnecessarily endangers the personal safety of either themselves or others, that
employee will be liable to disciplinary action and render his/herself liable to prosecution.
These Rules are based upon the Health and Safety policy statement.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. INTERPRETATIONS
1.1 When 'shall' is used in these Rules with no qualification, this indicates a
mandatory requirement with no discretion permitted and no judgement to be
made.
1.2 When 'shall, where practicable' is used to qualify a requirement, a slightly less
strict standard is imposed. It means that where it is possible to achieve in the
light of current knowledge and invention, but bearing in mind the hazards
associated with work to be undertaken, then the requirement must be met. One
is not allowed to avoid the requirement on the grounds of difficulty,
inconvenience or cost.
1.3 When 'shall, where reasonably practicable' is used to qualify a requirement then
a judgement must be made as to what is reasonable, taking into account the
magnitude of the risk on the one hand and the cost, time and trouble, or effort
necessary for averting the risk on the other hand.

1.4 When used in these Rules, the term 'work' may include testing.
2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
2.1 All persons with responsibilities under these Safety Rules must possess
sufficient knowledge and/or experience to avoid Danger. They must have
received training for the roles they are to perform under the Safety Rules.
2.2 Any person receiving instructions in the application of these Safety Rules shall
report to the person giving those instructions any objections on safety grounds
to carrying them out. Any such objections must be dealt with in an Approved
manner.
2.3 If a hazard arises or is suspected during the course of work which could give
rise to Danger, the work shall cease, the situation shall be reported immediately
and all persons withdrawn from the Plant and Apparatus concerned.
2.4 In addition to these Safety Rules, other associated rules issued by the Company
or other authorities and the requirements of supporting mandatory documents
must be complied with.
3. GENERAL SAFETY
3.1 In addition to the requirements for establishing Safety from the System
specified in these Safety Rules, General Safety must be maintained at all times
at and in the vicinity of the place of work. Supervisors must ensure that General
Safety is established, monitored and maintained. During the course of work,
members of the Working Party must maintain General Safety and ensure that
other work areas are not adversely affected by their activities.
3.2 The discharging of responsibility for General Safety will be achieved as part of
the normal pattern of management delegation and control by ensuring that all
activities are in accordance with appropriate guidance or written
instructions/procedures.
4. EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES
4.1 Work on Plant and Apparatus which is part of the System and to which these
Rules cannot be applied, or for special reasons should not be applied, should
be carried out in accordance with an Approved written procedure.
1.1 A Safety Rules Clearance Certificate (SRCC) shall be issued on any item of
Plant and Apparatus prior to it being put into service.
The Safety Rules Clearance Certificate shall be issued in accordance with the
Safety Rules Management Instruction - Bringing Plant and Apparatus under
the Safety Rules.
2. APPLICATION OF RULES
2.1 The Safety Rules shall be applied to all electrical and mechanical items of Plant
and Apparatus whose ultimate purpose is to supply energy (the System).
2.2 Any Plant or Apparatus not considered to be part of the System, to which the
Rules therefore do not apply, shall be identified locally and an alternative system
of safe working shall be provided.
2.3 Plant and Apparatus shall be added to and removed from the System only in
accordance with an Approved procedure, which will determine the point in time
when the Safety Rules are to be applied to new equipment and cease to apply
to equipment removed.
3.1 Access to any Apparatus containing exposed High Voltage conductors shall
be controlled by a Safety Controller.
3.2 Persons shall not allow any part of their body to approach exposed conductors
designed for and operated at, High Voltage, or insulators supporting such
conductors, within the Safety Distances specified in 3.5, unless the conductors
have been Isolated and Danger has been excluded.
3.3 When exposed High Voltage conductors are not Isolated, the only objects
permitted to approach them, or insulators supporting them, within the Safety
Distances specified in 3.5, shall be Approved insulated devices.
3.4 When exposed conductors are Isolated but could be subject to High Voltage,
the only objects permitted to approach them, or insulators supporting them
within the Safety Distances specified in 3.5, shall be Approved voltage
measuring devices or Earthing Devices.
A distance of 300 mm (12in) shall also be maintain from that portion of the insulators
supporting exposed High Voltage conductors which is outside the appropriate Safety
Distance from the conductors.

4.2 When limiting the work or the work area is insufficient to achieve Safety from
the System, it shall be achieved by the application of the following
requirements:-
iii) for work on HV Apparatus, Primary Earths shall be applied within the
Isolated zone and, where reasonably practicable, immobilised and
Locked. All Primary Earths shall be Tagged, all portable Primary
Earths shall be recorded.
vi) where internal access is required, the Plant and/or HV Apparatus shall
be Purged if the residue of contents could cause Danger;
vii) where Danger could arise from the release of stored energy, action shall
be taken to contain or dissipate this energy safely;
ix) when Danger from induced voltages could arise during the course of the
work, Drain Earths shall be applied. Any portable Drain Earths shall be
issued with the Permit together with an Earthing Schedule.
(ii) no other Permit shall be in force on the same items of Plant and/or HV
Apparatus.
4.4 When testing is to be carried out on Plant and/or HV Apparatus, supplies may
be restored or Primary Earths removed when necessary to facilitate such
testing and Safety from the System shall be achieved by the application of the
following additional precautions:
(i) the Plant and/or HV Apparatus on which the testing is to take place and
the nature of the testing shall be defined on the Permit;
(ii) no work other than work of a minor nature essential to the completion of
testing may be carried out. Safety from the System shall be maintained
during such work;

(iii) essential supplies which are necessary for the testing to take place and
which may be restored shall be defined on the Permit;
(iv) Primary Earths applied within the Isolated System, which may be
removed to facilitate testing provided Safety from the System is
maintained, shall be identified on the Permit;
(v) no other Permit shall be in force on the same items of Plant and/or HV
Apparatus.
5.1 The Plant Operator shall be advised prior to commencement of isolation or Live
work on LV Apparatus.
(c) a Permit.

(c) in a Permit.
6.1 The operation of Plant and/or Apparatus to achieve Safety from the System
shall never involve pre-arranged signals or the use of time intervals.
7.1 The work area shall be defined clearly and where necessary, protected
physically to prevent Danger to persons in the work area from System hazards
adjacent to the work area.
8.1 Work shall only be permitted on Plant and/or Apparatus which is readily
identifiable or has fixed to it a means of identification which will remain effective
throughout the course of the work. Acceptors must allow work to start only
when they are satisfied that they have identified the correct Plant and/or
Apparatus.
