Working near low voltage overhead insulated services

TasNetworks has been working with WorkSafe Tasmania and reviewed the Safe Approach Distances (SAD) for 'Working near TasNetworks owned Low Voltage (LV) Overhead (OH) insulated Services'.

All workers (and any tools in use) must keep a minimum 1-metre Safe Approach Distance (SAD) from overhead low voltage service lines.

Please review the attached brochure as provides additional detail and also covers;

• SAD requirements for insulated Service Lines
• Options for scenarios where the 1 metre SAD cannot be maintained.

*Note: This information applies only to LV service lines. SADs for overhead distributions lines are different - see the TasNetworks website for details.
