Working close to electrical cabinets

More or less all work sites and building sites use electricity. You may need electricity for machinery and lighting, and this often requires large electrical cabinets which have to be fitted and shielded appropriately.

With electrical cabinets, you must:

  • Be considerate and responsible to avoid putting yourself and your colleagues in danger
  • Regard electrical cabinets as live
  • Follow any instructions from the utility company
  • Ensure free access in front of them
