SAFETY RULES
• Danger – A risk of loss of life, bodily injury or damage to health from shock,
burn or other cause arising from the Generation, Transmission, Distribution or
use of electrical energy
Jordanian For Capacity Building
• Danger Notice – A portable notice, in approved form, attached to
apparatus when ‘LIVE’, calling attention to the danger of approach to, or
interference with, the apparatus.
a) Dead,
b) Isolated and all practicable steps have been taken to lock off live parts,
d) Screened / or working area roped off where necessary to prevent danger and Caution
& Danger notices fixed,
e) Released for work by the issue of a Permit-to Work or Sanction-for-Test and unless
such person is fully conversant with the nature and extent of the work to be done.
Jordanian For Capacity Building
• It is the duty of the person issuing the Permit-to-Work or
Sanction-for-Test to satisfy himself that the foregoing
provisions are complied with.
•
• Provided that if the clearances specified in Rule 17 (1) are
maintained, work may be carried out on structures above
ground level under Part ‘A’ of a Permit-to-Work or at ground
level under a Limitation-of-Access and the provisions of
Rule 12 (1) (a), (b) & c) need not apply. Making live or dead
by signal or pre-arranged understanding after an agreed
interval of time is forbidden.

12.2 Interference with Conductors :
• No person shall touch the insulation which
covers or supports any conductor subject to
high voltage unless the conductor is dead,
isolated and earthed.
12.3 Fixing of Danger & Caution Notices &
Before work is carried out on the withdrawable portion of truck type or metal-clad
switchgear, the provisions of Rule 12.1.a & b shall first be complied with. The apparatus
shall then be :-
b) Discharged to earth,
b) Work shall not be carried out by any person on high voltage apparatus or in
proximity to any such apparatus where technical knowledge or experience
is required to avoid danger until a Permit-to-Work or Sanction-for-Test has
been signed and the card copy handed by a Senior Authorized Person to the
person in charge of the work. The Senior Authorized Person shall ensure the
person receiving the Permit-to-Work or Sanction-for-Test fully understands
its contents. The person in charge of the work shall then sign the card copy
and its original and retain the card copy in his possession until he has signed
the clearance and returned it to the Senior Authorized Person.

C) The person in charge to whom a Permit-to-Work is issued
shall be a Competent Person and the work shall be carried out
under his immediate supervision. In the case of an over head
line with all conductors dead, immediate supervision shall be
deemed to include the area between additional earths as
defined in Rule 21.2.d.
g) Work on spouts shall then be done under the personal supervision of a Senior Authorized Person, who
notwithstanding the requirements of Rule 12.1 and Rule 15.2.a. shall remove the earths at the point of work and
prove each spout dead by means of an approved voltage indicator, before it is worked on, the indicator itself being
tested immediately before and after the verification. If the earths that can be applied to the circuit are those
applied in the spouts and are circuit main earths, then while work is in progress no other work shall be carried out
on the circuit connected to those spouts. In all other cases, the requirements of Rule 12 shall apply.
h) When the spouts are connected to an overhead line on which there is any likelihood of dangerous induced
voltages, additional earths shall be efficiently connected at the nearest point to the point of work where access to
the conductors can safely be obtained.
i) Earths may be removed under the terms of a Sanction-for-Test after which they shall be immediately replaced or
noted under the “exceptions” when clearing the Sanction-for-Test.

Overhead Lines :
Jordanian For Capacity Building
21.1 - High Voltage Cables :
A) The work shall be carried out under the terms of a Part ‘A’
Permit-to-Work and from within the body of the tower.
Up to 33 KV 2.74 m (9 ft 0 inch)
Exceeding 33 KV but not exceeding 66 KV 2.97 m (9 ft 9 inch)
Exceeding 66 KV but not exceeding 132 KV 3.43 m (11 ft 3 inch)
Exceeding 132 KV but not exceeding 275 KV 4.57 m (15 ft 0inch)

While defining the working area, the Competent Person in charge shall
be under observation by another person at ground level.
c) No man shall work in such a manner that his arms or any tool
extend beyond the limits defined in subparagraph (b) and no tool
greater in length than 0.3 meters (12 inches) shall be taken up a tower.
(ii) The valves shall be locked by safety locks and the keys shall be
placed in the appropriate Danger Envelope.
b.2. The valves shall be locked in position and the keys retained
by the Senior Authorized Person and Caution Notices applied,
b.3. A Permit-to-Work or a Sanction-for-Test shall be issued to
the person in charge of the work

24.2 Maintenance Testing :
Maintenance testing on high voltage equipment operated by or
containing compressed air shall only be carried out (a) under the
terms of a Sanction-for-Test, or (b) under the direct supervision of
a Senior Authorized Person under the terms of a Permit-to-Work.
The provisions of Rule 24.1 shall apply before the Sanction-for-Test
or Permit-to-Work is issued. The Permit-to-Work may be the one
issued to a Competent Person under the terms of Rule 24.1 but
under no circumstances will there be more than one Permit-to-
Work issued on the high voltage equipment. The Senior
Authorized Person shall ascertain from the System Control
Engineer that no other Permit-to-Work has been issued on the
apparatus other than the Permit-to-Work under which the
maintenance testing is to be carried out.

24.3 Operational Testing & Adjustments :
a. General :
All persons while at work on towers, poles and
high structures shall make proper use of their
safety belts & helmets and shall be in visual
range of a second person. Before any pole is
climbed, it shall be sounded. No pole badly
impaired by decay or damage shall be climbed
until it has been securely guyed and if necessary
splinted and then only by one person.
