Hot Stick Preference
The NCLW wants to remind industry that to minimise the risk of harm when making or breaking HV connections using a HV live line work method, the use of the ‘hot stick’ method is recommended.
This method ensures greater distance between the worker and point of connection, meaning the possible exposure of a worker in the event of an arc flash, is minimised.
It is also important that any action to make or break connections using a HV live method must be justified and subject to approval from the network operator.
The committee will review the existing model procedures to ensure this recommendation is promoted in the relevant procedures.
