Where energised exposed conductors become present (i.e. spade terminals, bus bars, etc.), identify appropriate risk treatments subject to site conditions, and implement immediately (e.g. Creating an isolated zone using Barricade Tape, to ideally 3m). No unauthorised persons are to come into any isolated work area. Remove conductive jewellery or personal items. Do not contact any exposed electrical components Keep site staff informed if machine will be run If any dangers appear, shut machine off safely Minimise contact with any conductive materials, such as metals, on or around the machine Tape down any hazardous sharp edges Use good manual handling technique, including mechanical aids, dismantling loads, or multiple people.
