89/391/EEC - Safety and health of workers at the work

This document gives guidelines for safe fuelling operations of vehicles that use liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a fuel for propulsion, covering the activities and procedures to be followed for safe operation. It provides procedures applicable to different fuelling systems and technologies.
NOTE   Regarding the responsibility surrounding the training of drivers of LNG vehicles, see the framework of Directive 89/391 EEC.

This document provides requirements for electrical safety for:
-   dead working on an overhead contact line system;
-   working activities near an overhead contact line system when it is live.
It applies to all work activities in relation to electrical hazards only.
This document is applicable to overhead contact line systems with the following nominal voltages:
-   1,5 kV and 3 kV dc;
-   15 kV, 2x15 kV, 25 kV and 2x25 kV ac.
It also provides requirements for work activities that can give rise to electrical hazards from the return circuit.
This document does not cover electrical risk arising from:
-   live working on overhead contact line systems (live working can be carried out according to national requirements and practices);
-   working on or near other electrical sources.
If there are no other rules or procedures, this document could be applied to overhead contact line systems with other nominal voltages.
