scope:

This module states the requirements for the management of the electrical risks involved when work is to be carried out on or about 25 kV a.c. electrified lines in order to prevent danger arising from live overhead line equipment, and live pantographs and other roof-mounted electrical equipment on trains.

It is applicable to Network Rail personnel and to Network Rail's contractors.

To provide a consistent approach to working on or about 25 kV a.c. electrified lines, Train Operating Companies may, as best practice, apply this standard to infrastructure they control.

Purpose

This module will produce a consistent approach to the management of risks when working on or about 25 kV a.c. electrified lines. Further requirements for working on or about the electrified lines are contained in the Rule Book Module AC (GE/RT8000/AC).
