This Standard outlines principles and procedures of safe work, organization and performance on or near low-voltage electrical installations and equipment. It provides a minimum set of procedures, safety requirements and recommendations to manage the hazards associated with electricity, specifically arc blast, arc flash, electric shock and electrocution. Adopting these will provide a safe working environment for work on or near low-voltage electrical installations (see Clause 1.6.9) and equipment (see Clause 1.6.8).
