Electrical Wiring Low Voltage Safe Work Method Statement:

The General Electrical Wiring Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a comprehensive 6 page procedure outlining the safety steps for low voltage Electrical Wiring. The General Electrical Wiring procedure is ready to use and is not a blank template.

This SWMS relates to low voltage, non-live electrical connection, equipment and installation works.The main hazards include: electrocution (fatality), electric shock, falls and asbestos in some switchboards. Simply add your company details, ABN, and include any site specific details or risks and make it specific to the task at hand.

It is then ready for printing and to be incorporated as part of your overall OHS System. The Electrical Wiring Low Voltage procedure can be used as part of your OHS inductions, for Tool box talks or tender applications.

Planning

Conduct an assessment of intended work site and develop a task specific SWMS.

Include :

• Proximity to live electrical equipment
• prospective fault levels
• Site conditions
• Weather conditions
• Noise
• Lighting
• Spotters/safety observers
• Permits
• Proximity to vehicle/pedestrian traffic
• Working environment (such as areas with reduced mobility – behind switchboards, roof spaces etc)
• Working at heights, confined spaces etc
• Possibility of inadvertent operation of equipment that is being worked on (LOTO procedures)
• Disruption of services
