General Safety RequirementsA <strong>safety</strong> observer shall:• monitor the <strong>work</strong> and warn against potentialinfringement <strong>of</strong> safe approach distances;• be positioned to effectively observe andimmediately communicate with personsper<strong>for</strong>ming the <strong>work</strong>;• have the authority to temporarily suspend therelevant <strong>work</strong> at any time;• not per<strong>for</strong>m any other <strong>work</strong> while acting as<strong>safety</strong> observer; and• be specifically instructed in the duties and<strong>work</strong>place hazards applicable.3.12 FIT STATE FOR WORKAlcohol, drugs, mental alertness and physicalcondition <strong>of</strong> a person may impede their ability to<strong>work</strong> safely in an <strong>electrical</strong> environment.Persons who are required to <strong>work</strong> on, near or in thevicinity <strong>of</strong> <strong>electrical</strong> apparatus shall not consume orbe under the influence <strong>of</strong> alcohol or drugs thatdiminish <strong>work</strong> skills during <strong>work</strong> hours. This shall betaken to include meal or rest breaks.Appropriate policies shall be implemented byorganisations.Page 34 <strong>of</strong> 148 Blue Book – December 2005
General Safety Requirements3.13 WORK WITHIN ELECTRIC ANDMAGNETIC FIELDS3.13.1 GeneralPersons <strong>work</strong>ing within electric and magnetic fieldsshall be appropriately protected from theannoyance due to electric discharge effects <strong>of</strong>strong electric fields and the possible biologicaleffects associated with extremely strong electricand magnetic fields.Persons using medical implantable devicesincluding cardiac pacemakers should consult theirdoctors and the relevant organisation Health &Safety Officer <strong>for</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation on possibleelectromagnetic interferences with the medicaldevices prior to entering areas <strong>of</strong> strong electricand magnetic fields.The electric fields and magnetic field exposurelimits given below are based upon National Healthand Medical Research Council (NHMRC)Guidelines. An ongoing review <strong>of</strong> these guidelinesis presently being carried out by the AustralianRadiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency(ARPANSA), and in<strong>for</strong>mation on the activity isavailable from ARPANSA.
