Abstract This article is a continuation of the one abstracted on CIS 1269-1972, Buz Hfiz Siy (609). The rules laid down concern the organisation of work sites and the manner in which the work is performed. Leaving more initiative to the person in charge of the work site than the previous "work method descriptions", they define the relations between the various factors and persons involved: supervisor, foreman, fitter, etc. Each relation is treated in connection with one main idea: work-in-progress situation, organisation of the work, electrical hazard, etc. Most are of a general nature, others depend on the nature of the installation. The article describes how work would be done on 3 different sites (overhead lines, underground cables, indoor connections) and reproduces a certain number of rules.
