Generic Risk Assessment 5.1 examines the hazards, risks and control measures relating to fire and rescue personnel, the personnel of other agencies and members of the public when dealing with incidents involving electricity.
This Generic Risk Assessment relates to two basic types of incident:
-
Fires in equipment, premises or sites using, distributing or producing electricity
-
Rescue of casualties in contact or within close proximity to live electrical equipment
Even low domestic voltage can be fatal; therefore it is vital crews work safely at all times in the vicinity of electricity wires, photovoltaic cells and electricity sub-stations. Incidents involving electricity cables are on the increase, particularly the malicious ignition and theft of cables above ground.
