Safety Rules Handbook

.The National Grid Safety Rules are provided to ensure that work can be undertaken safely on or near electrical and mechanical equipment.

It is the duty of every person who may be concerned with work on or near to the system to make themselves thoroughly familiar with the relevant Safety Rules and appropriate support documents. In addition all persons have a general duty to be conversant with and to observe statutory requirements relating to any activity with which they have an involvement. It is the responsibility, under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, and Regulations made under it, that all persons employed will take reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and other persons who may be affected by their acts or omissions.
