Revision of the rules for carrying out low-voltage live working on electrical networks

Abstract

Low-voltage live working on electrical networks has been carried out in France since the 1960s. The Working Conditions (WCs) that cover these working activities are updated regularly to take account of lessons learned in the field. This article presents an overview of the improvement process that led to a revision of the low-voltage Working Conditions in 2013: an operating experience system and progress axes identified; a innovative method in the service of the operator and his local supervisor; the implication of all stakeholders for accompanying change.
