- Plan safe access for all roof, facade, and tower locations before starting work
- Use fall arrest or restraint systems when installing at height on exposed structures
- Follow the installation design prepared in accordance with BS EN 62305
- Isolate and prove dead any electrical systems before making bonding connections
- Use appropriate lifting methods for heavy copper conductor runs
- Coordinate with other trades to avoid conflicts during facade conductor routing
- Test earth electrode resistance values using calibrated instruments before handover
- Protect completed conductors from damage by following trades during construction
- Record all test results and installation details for the building handover file
- Brief the team on the specific access and working-at-height requirements daily
|
- DON'T install conductors at height without fall protection measures in place
- DON'T make bonding connections to live electrical systems without isolation
- DON'T deviate from the BS EN 62305 design without engineer approval
- DON'T work on exposed roofs or towers during thunderstorms or high winds
- DON'T leave conductor fixings incomplete where they could become detached
- DON'T use damaged or corroded conductor materials in the installation
- DON'T bury earth electrodes without recording their exact location
- DON'T skip commissioning tests — untested systems may not perform when needed
- DON'T carry long conductor sections in windy conditions without assistance
- DON'T connect the LPS without verifying the main earthing terminal location
