Hi Dave

Is the work truly required now (i.e. is there a significant risk arising from immediate or imminent exposure)?

We have a protocol (attached) for working on private property, which covers our worker.

As for the bigger picture, it’s a risk management issue – what is the risk of dying from Covid 19 (better than 99% survival rate), as opposed to what is the risk of the installation remaining electrically unsafe?

Section 23c of the Electricity Act still applies if you cant contact the installation owner.

You are still legislatively required to undertake testing at the installation – if they don’t want you at the meter board then isolate at the network fuse and move on!

feel free to ring if you need me to talk this through

Cheers
