54A Interpretation
In this Division —
competent person has the meaning given in the Work Health and Safety (General) Regulations 2022 regulation 5;
risk assessment, in relation to electrical work to be carried out on or near an energised part of an electrical installation, means the process of —
identifying the electrical hazards to which a person carrying out the work is likely to be exposed; and
assessing the risk of injury or harm, resulting from those hazards, to the person who will carry out the work.
For the purposes of this Division, a person carries out electrical work near an energised part of an electrical installation if, in carrying out the work, the person may make contact, directly or indirectly (including with a thing used or controlled by the person), with an uninsulated energised part of the electrical installation.
For the purposes of this Division —
if an electrical installation is connected to a supply of electricity, each part of the installation is taken to be energised unless it is de‑energised; and
the neutral for a part of an electrical installation is taken to be de‑energised if the part is de‑energised.
