Distribution Business Electrical Safety Performance Reporting Guidelines

1. General The Electricity Safety Act 1998 (the Act) specifies that Energy Safe Victoria (ESV) has eleven functions. Two of the critical functions are to investigate events or incidents which have implications for electrical safety and advise the electricity industry and the community in relation to electricity safety. To support the activities that deliver these functions, ESV keeps a record of all reported electrical incidents and events. The information acquired from these reports, and any subsequent investigations, is used to determine root cause, take enforcement action, and to consider actions to mitigate future risks. Remedial action may include the revision of regulations, providing information and guidance to special interest groups or the public in general, or the establishment of special committees to set rules for improving safety. These Guidelines provides distribution businesses (DBs), who are major electricity companies (MECs) as defined in the Act, with guidance on the application of the Act and regulations 27 and 28 of the Electricity Safety (Management) Regulations 2009 (the Regulations) when reporting incidents involving their assets. ESV must be notified of serious electrical incidents as a requirement of the Act. Failure to report such an incident is a serious breach of the Act. Fatal or serious electrical incidents are to be reported to ESV immediately after making any necessary contact with emergency services such as police, ambulance services providers, Metropolitan Fire and Emergency Services Board, or Country Fire Authority.

serious electrical incident is an incident involving electricity which causes or has the potential to cause: the death of or injury to a person significant damage to property a serious risk to public safety serious risk to public safety is an event involving electricity which causes or has the potential to cause any of the following: risk of personal injury serious risk that raises state-wide media interest property damage that may directly or indirectly cause personal injury property damage by high voltage injection or direct current voltage injection incident serious enough to warrant on site action to mitigate risk to the public by Police, Ambulance Service, Metropolitan Fire and Emergency Services Board, Country Fire Authority, Victorian Work Cover Authority, a statutory body or an emergency service provider (excludes attendance by a single emergency unit to keep the public away from a potentially dangerous situation, e.g. wire down) reverse polarity of an electrical circuit that has been in service or declared to be in service (e.g. after a working crew left the site) significant damage to property includes: > $50,000 damage to property other than network assets (this excludes damage to vehicles as a result of collision with network assets without release of electrical energy) damage that has potential for significant public or media interest damage serious enough to warrant on site action to mitigate risk to the public by Police, Ambulance Service, Metropolitan Fire and Emergency Services Board, Country Fire Authority, Victorian Work Cover Authority, a statutory body or an emergency service provider (excludes attendance by a single emergency unit to keep the public away from a potentially dangerous situation e.g. wire down) Uncontrolled copy when printed Version 4.0 July 2014, DOC/13/4099 Page 4 of 23
