    Hi Shaun

    This boils down to the requirements of ECP34 Section 9 . A person is required to be electrically competent to work within the reduced MAD of an exposed live part.

    <font face=”inherit”>As Graham noted above, this is </font>often<font face=”inherit”> the case when opening pillar boxes and TXs, but not so much with other equipment.</font>

    <font face=”inherit” style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>A secondary benefit is that </font>immediate<font face=”inherit” style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”> repairs can be made to make safe if the worker is </font>appropriately<font face=”inherit” style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”> </font>electrically<font face=”inherit” style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”> registered. We generally used Electricians , but LV underground is within the scope of a Line Mechanic.</font>
