4. |
|
The collection of thermal imaging data necessitates the plant being in a working
condition, and as such the power will ordinarily be on. Data will only be recorded from such positions as to keep
personnel in a safe position. Guards are not to be removed from moving machinery. |

|
Survey areas which are behind panel doors will be monitored in a controlled manner.
A qualified electrical member of the clients staff (authorised to open panel doors with the power on) will supervise
the opening, surveying of the panel, and the subsequent closure of the panel door. Data will only be collected
at a safe working distance from any live connections. |

Supervision:
All personnel are considered competent to carry out such work, with no extra supervision required, other than that
required when electrical panel doors are being opened whilst the power is on..
Equipment:
Normal range of hand tools, and Inframetrics PM100e thermal imaging camera (battery operated).
Training:
All staff will have received on the job training covering the safe use of the camera with due consideration to
the positioning of live electrical apparatus.
Risk Assessment:
Collection of data requires plant to be operational, and for the collector to be in the vicinity of moving machinery,
although guards are not to be removed from moving machinery, and live electrical contacts. Live electrical components,
noise, dust and moving parts are primary risks. Method statement to be adhered to at all times to minimise stated
risks.
Protective Clothing:
