The separation distance between the platform and aerial conductor and risk controls when operating in the vicinity of aerial
conductors shall comply with the following:
(a) Overhead power lines (up to and including 133 kV) The following applies:
(i) No go zone The platform shall not be operated in the ‘no go zone’ as indicated in Figure C1.3 for overhead
power lines up to and including 133 kV, unless —
(A) written permission from the electricity distributor has been obtained;
(B) all conditions specified by the electricity distributor are complied with;
(C) the electricity distributor is notified before commencing work;
(D) a spotter performs spotting duties; and
(E) a pre-start site/job meeting has been convened and a risk assessment completed.
(ii) Spotter required zone The platform shall not be operated in the ‘spotter required zone’ as indicated in
Figure C1.3 for overhead power lines up to and including 133 kV, unless—
(A) written permission from the electricity distributor has been obtained;
(B) a spotter performs spotting duties; and
(C) a pre-start site/job meeting has been convened and a risk assessment completed.
(b) Overhead power lines (greater than 133 kV) The following applies:
(i) No go zone The platform shall not be operated in the ‘no go zone’ as indicated in Figure C1.3 for overhead
power lines greater than 133 kV, unless —
(A) an easement entry permit has been provided by the electricity distributor;
(B) written permission from the electricity distributor has been obtained;
(C) all conditions specified by the electricity distributor are complied with;
(D) the electricity distributor is notified before commencing work;
(E) a spotter performs spotting duties; and
(F) a pre-start site/job meeting has been convened and a risk assessment completed.
(ii) Spotter required zone The platform shall not be operated in the ‘spotter required zone’ as indicated in
Figure 6.19.3 for overhead power lines greater than 133 kV, unless—
(A) written permission from the electricity distributor has been obtained;
(B) an easement entry permit has been provided by the electricity distributor;
(C) a spotter performs spotting duties; and
(D) a pre-start site/job meeting has been convened and a risk assessment completed.
(c) Public transport authorities Where aerial conductors are dedicated to the use of public transport
authorities, e.g., tramways and railways, the separation distance shall be the same as that for aerial conductors up to and
including 133 kV (see Item (a)). (d) Downshop conductors Before mobile machinery is set up for operation in the vicinity of
downshop conductors, the power supply to the conductors shall be isolated prior to operation unless appropriate control
measures have been developed and implemented.
NOTES:
1 Downshop conductors, e.g., collector rails, should be clearly identified.
2 Clearances from downshop conductors should be in accordance with AS/NZS 3000.
(e) Barriers at ground level Where people not involved in the lifting operation could otherwise come into the
