What are the key safety precautions and tools required for this work?
2025-08-14Safety is paramount during cable laying and termination. A comprehensive method statement must detail strict safety precautions and the correct use of specialized tools:
-
Safety Precautions: Work should only be performed by certified and trained personnel. The circuit must be de-energized, and a lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedure must be in place. Technicians must wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including insulated gloves, safety glasses, and hard hats.
-
Specialized Tools: Essential tools include precision cable strippers, crimping tools for lugs, and specialized heat guns for heat-shrinkable kits.
-
Measurement and Testing Equipment: A multimeter, a megger (insulation resistance tester), and a high-voltage test kit are required to verify the quality of the termination.
