| Abstract |
This article reviews breifly the Swiss regulations concerning live work, and gives the viewpoint of the Swiss Inspectorate of Heavy Current Installations with regard to live work on low voltage distribution networks (<1,000V). Giving examples, the author reviews various safety measures capable of preventing occupational accidents during live work on low voltage installations. Experience shows that, provided these measures are observed, skilled and experienced workers can perform live work without running any particular risk. In the case of low voltage installations the Inspectorate endorses the saying: "it is better to work on a live installation, being aware of the fact, than to work on an installation presuming that it is disconnected". |
