Abstract
Live working comprises work on electric energy plants, network or electric installations where the worker purposely establishes contact with the live parts or exposes parts of the body or tools in the live work zone (zone where the live parts are not insulated sufficiently to ensure protection from electric hazard without special safety measures). With regard to the safety of workers in live working conditions, as opposed to the de-energized environment, special training, special tools and personal protection measures are needed, in addition to a strict adherence to the safety procedures during preparation and actual work.
Company HEP – Operator distribucijskog sustava, d.o.o. (distribution system operator (DSO)) has in the last 15 years been working on the implementation of the technology of live working in its business processes and in the construction of electricity distribution network and plants. Elektra Zagreb covers the largest distribution area in the Republic of Croatia, according to the number of transformer stations and the number of users. Taking into consideration the specific nature of live working, the company has invested greatly in safety in assuring continuity of electricity supply. The technology of live working is implemented in the construction of the electricity distribution connections and in the jobs of cleaning transformer stations, focusing on achieving maximum safety to the workers.
