Codes of Practice


  • Code of Practice for Safe Electrical Work This Code of Practice outlines principles and methods of safe work, organisation and performance on low voltage electrical equipment. It is designed to constitute a set of minimum recommended procedural and safety requirements for a safe working environment for all electrical workers authorised to perform work on electrical equipment and installations.
  • Industry Standard for Electrical Installation Work on Construction Sites This Industry Standard applies to all fixed wiring, fixed and/or portable electrical apparatus, tools, appliances, and associated flexible Cords used in connection with all forms of construction work. This includes the construction, renovation and demolition of all types of buildings and structures. It also applies to any excavation work undertaken in relation to the construction or demolition of buildings or structures.
  • This "Industry Standard" has been endorsed by the Foundations for Safety delegates(Foundations for Safety is Victoria's primary forum for dealing and consists of delegates from the unions, employer associations and regulators). Frequently Asked Questions.
  • Victorian Electricity Supply Industry Code of Practice has been developed by key electrical industry stakeholders to ensure that disconnection and reinstatement of supply by operation of Electricity Distributor service fuses at the supply interface to specified Victorian electricity customers installations may be undertaken in a responsible manner by “Electrician” and “L” & “G” Class Electrical Inspector licensed persons, other than those working for Electricity Distributors. Compliance with this Code permits these licensed persons to remove and reinsert the electricity Distributors service fuse link normally located in the customer installations fuse holder under controlled conditions within specified installations to disconnect and reconnect supply. Increased electrical safety, efficiencies, reduced costs and maintenance of responsible management for disconnection and reconnection of electricity to customers will result from this Code.
  • The Blue Book Code of Practice of Electrical Safety for Work On or Near High Voltage Electrical Apparatus  2005  was originally developed in the 1920’s and amended from time to time to continue setting out safe work practices in maintaining safe systems of work in relation to control of risks associated with work on or in the vicinity of high voltage electrical apparatus in Victoria.

 

  • Victorian Electrolysis Code of Practice This Code of practice describes the operation and procedures used by the Victorian Electrolysis Committee to administer the Electricity Safety (Stray Current Corrosion) Regulations 1998 in regard to the registration of both cathodic protection systems and the mitigation system.
