Safety Brief SB-811 CONSAC Cable Identification


A recent incident occurred where an on-call crew did not identify CONSAC cable correctly, special requirements apply to equipment containing CONSAC cables – workers should review and implement the requirements of CEOP8030.

An on-call crew were called to a no supply, after inspection it was determined it was in a burnt-out service fuse and street light fuse in a pillar. After completing a risk assessment and discussing the job the service fuse carrier was replaced and supply restored to the house. The on-call crew didn't have a fuse carrier for the street light, so it was made safe and left for another day. All appropriate PPE was utilised.
