Nettworx Site Inspection - Overhead Powerlines up to 132kV
by Trevor Houghton, from the Community
This Nettworx Site Inspection checklist supports field teams working on overhead powerlines up to 132kV. It guides a comprehensive review of site access, public protection, signage, housekeeping, and identification verification. It covers documentation such as authorisations, Distribution Safety Rules, site-specific risk assessments, HSG47 paperwork, and permits to work. Teams verify plant and equipment readiness including CAT and Genny, electrical test devices, and LOLER compliance for MEWPs, excavators, HIABs, and lifting gear. The checklist emphasises electrical safety practices, earthing, live work procedures, and adherence to method statements. It also addresses welfare provisions, PPE standards (including live working gloves and helmets), working at height controls, exclusion zones, and rescue readiness. Environmental controls include spill kits, waste segregation, and COSHH management. The form concludes with comments, actions, and signatures from auditors and team leaders.
