4.3 Document a safe system of work for all electrical work

RISK – Document a safe system of work for all electrical work

A safe system of work may include an Electrical Works Management Plan, Electrical Safety Management Scheme, Safe Operating Procedures and TRAs/Safe Work Method Statements.

 

 

 

Contractors may use their own documented safe system of work provided it is reviewed and approved by John Holland.

 

 

A safe system of work for electrical work is a comprehensive and integrated system for managing risks during the performance of electrical work and ensuring that when complete, the work is tested and proven to be electrically safe.

 

 

There are a number of processes John Holland has in place to ensure those conducting electrical work have the necessary systems and processes in place to do so. These include:

  1. Electrical Subcontractor or Major Supplier Tender Interview Questionnaire
  2. Electrical Contractor Documentation Review
  3. Electrical Safety Inspection Checklist
  4. Electrical Safety GMR Audit

 

 

Electrical Subcontractor or Major Supplier Tender interview questionnaire

This questionnaire is completed when electrical contractors are tendering for John Holland work.

 

 

Electrical Contractor Documentation Review

This review is completed once the Electrical contractor has won the work and submitted their Safe System of Work for review. To be reviewed prior to any works commencing.

 

 

Electrical Safety Inspection Checklist and Electrical Safety GMR Audit

Monitoring and review activities to be performed whilst work is being conducted to ensure it is being performed in accordance with the safe system of work and John Holland’s Procedures.

 

 

 

Consultation with your workers is vital when developing an effective safe system of work.
