Hazardous substances in Transformers… On a register or not?
We have recently had a question within the business as to whether we should be keeping hazardous substance registers under the hazardous substance legislation for hazardous substances within Transformers, switches etc.
My opinion is no, we need the haz subs registers for substances we are storing for use, this could be oil, gasses, diesel etc.
I would be keen to know how other EDB’s are treating hazardous substances within their equipment.
We have a record of SF6 and oils within our transformers for maintenance and hopefully not but potential spill event, but I feel the haz subs registers are different to maintenance and damage causing a spill.
Any thoughts? Cheers
