b. Preparation
(i) Work must be planned and notice must be given to the public
utilities where excavations are planned in footway or carriageway;
(ii) Obtain from the local Electricity Board plans showing positionsof their mains, but do not trust accuracy of actual placement
fully as it may be outdated;
(iii) It must be remembered that only mains are shown. Servicecables to property, street lamp etc., are not likely to be indicated.
If a plan does not show a cable, it does not follow.

24. WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF OVERHEAD ELECTRIC
LINES
a. General
(i) Contact with overhead electric lines can be lethal with supply as
low as 240 volts. Overhead electric lines are not normallyinsulated, and if contact or near contact is made with them by
crane, jib, scaffold pole, ladder or similar object. The risk of
fatality or severe shock or burns to any person in the immediate
vicinity is eminent;
(ii) Similar dangers can also exist in movement of abnormally high
loads on roads crossed by overhead lines.
b. Pre-planning
(i) Pre-planning safe working procedures is essential. Specific
warnings / notices will be necessary if vehicles, plant or
equipment etc. are installed in the vicinity of overhead lines.
In this case, the Electricity Board would be approached foradvice of the safe working distances of the overhead electric
lines.
(ii) In areas where, in the opinion of the supervisor, there may be
special hazards or difficulties, then he must use the electricitycable drawings as a guide and survey the site to locate any
cables prior to work commencement;
For this purpose a Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) must be used,
but be reminded that this will only indicate live load carrying
cables. The presence of street lighting, illuminated signs,bollards, traffic signals, and the like shall be looked for. Noteshall be taken of the fact that every fronting property will have
an electricity supply somewhere. Any cables located shall be
clearly marked on the surface of the footway or carriage wayusing fluorescent paint (aerosol), wooden pegs on grass or
unsurfaced areas;

(i) Before commencing work, the supervisor must have a copy of
the cable plan and must check any marked positions of cables inrelation to the excavation proposed. A further check must alsobe carried out using the CAT (Cable Avoidance Tool);
(ii) If there is any doubt in your mind concerning the presence oflive cables, inform the supervisor at once before continuing with
excavation;
(iii) If possible, use trial holes when excavating near suspected
cables to establish their exact location;
(iv) Use hand digging methods wherever practicable in theimmediate vicinity of the indicated line of cables;
(v) Do not use mechanical excavators or power tools within 0.5metres of the indicated line of any cable, unless consent of the
Electricity Board has been obtained;
Officer be consulted for advice on what additional precautions
will be required.
(vi) Access for plant and materials and the working of plant shall be
under the direct supervision of a responsible person appointed toensure that safety precautions are observed.
(vii) Plant, equipment, or tools that could reach beyond the safe
clearance limit shall be modified by the addition of suitable
physical restraints so that they cannot reach beyond the safeclearance limit.

25. WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF GAS PIPES
a. General
(i) Damage to gas pipes can result in uncontrolled gas escapes that
may be dangerous. These occurrences can cause expensivedisruption of work and inconvenience to the public. The
commonly use cast iron gas pipes are very similar in appearance
to cast iron water pipes. Various materials are used for gas
pipes and services. If any cast iron pipe is uncovered, it shall betreated as a gas pipe, as gas pipes installation is increasing at a
steady pace in Peninsular Malaysia.
b. Safe working practices
(i) Gas pipes must be located by hand-digging before mechanicalexcavation. A mechanical excavator must not be used within
0.5 metres of a gas pipe.
(ii) Where heavy plant may have to cross the line of a gas pipe
during construction work. The crossing points shall be suitablyreinforced and the number of crossings shall be kept to a
minimum and clearly identified signaled.

(vii) Particular care must be taken to avoid damage by heat or nakedflames to plastic pipes or the protective coatings on other gas
pipes.
c. Actions on leakage of gas
(i) Immediately clear off all personnel from the immediate vicinity
of the gas leakage.
(ii) Inform the Fire Department by telephone (Tel: 994) and the gas
supplier and policy if necessary.
(iii) Prevent any approach by the public, prohibit smoking, and
extinguish all naked flames or other sources of ignition for aleast 15 metres from the leakage. Carton off the area if possible.

c. General Precautions
(i) Where there is no work or passage of plant under the electric
lines, barriers are required to prevent close approach. Barriersshall be erected parallel to the overhead lines and ideally more
than 6 metres distance from it. The distance may depend upon
the voltage of the overhead line and advises sought from
Electricity Board. The barriers shall be surmounted by colouredbunting which forms an additional warning. If access is only
possible from one side then a barrier on that side will be
sufficient.

overhead lines, the area where vehicle they may pass shall beadequate and preferably not more than 10 metres wide. This
passageway shall be clearly defined by the use of fencing
barriers and goal posts shall be of rigid construction and of a
non-conducting material, distinctly marked in order that they
may clearly identified.
