Provisions the documents cite: regs 12, 13, 14, 16, with HSR25 (3rd edition, 2015); reg 4(1) and (2) (systems constructed and maintained to prevent danger)
What it requires
reg 13 — adequate precautions to prevent equipment made dead from becoming live during work. reg 14 — no live working unless the three conditions are met. reg 16 — competence. The Regulations do not require a permit; the permit is the industry means of demonstrating the precautions.
