In this video, we’ll be diving into Element 11.2 Control Measures
• Protection of conductors
• Strength and capability of equipment
• Advantages and limitations of protective systems: fuses, earthing, isolation of supply, double insulation, residual
current devices, reduced and low voltage systems
• Use of competent people
• Use of safe systems of work (no live working unless no other option; isolation; locating buried services; protection
against overhead cables)
• Emergency procedures following an electrical incident
• Inspection and maintenance strategies: user checks; formal inspection and tests of the electrical installation and
equipment; frequency of inspection and testing; records of inspection and testing; advantages and limitations of
portable appliance testing (PAT).
