2006 Code Changes Rule 36-006(1)(e) Warning Notices

Rule 36-006(1)(e) Warning Notices

A warning sign carrying the words “Danger – High Voltage” or ”Danger ----- V” must be displayed on every substation fence to be sure they are not overlooked:
next to the locks on all outdoor substation gates;
at all corners of the substation fence; and
the signs must not be spaced more than 15 m apart.
The reason for this rule change —to make sure that anyone, and in particular, untrained and unqualified people become well aware that the inside of the substation fence contains serious personal hazards by ensuring that the warning signs are available when approaching the station and in the most obvious places.
