Caution: Where the cables to be tested are not disconnected from the ABB Safelink RMU the following actions must be taken to minimise the risk of injury or damage: 1. The Earth Switch on any energised ABB Safelink RMU must not be switched from the EARTH to OFF position when the connected HV Electrical Apparatus are under access (i.e. the Busbar of the RMU must be de-energised using double isolation before the Earth Switch can be operated). 2. After operating the Earth Switch the switching operator must visually confirm that the correct switch state is displayed by the indicator. If the indicator is incorrect or in an indeterminate state personnel must stay well clear of the RMU and associated cable(s) and contact the Switching Co-ordinator for further instructions.

1: DETERMINE CONSEQUENCE: - The most likely outcome of a potential incident resulting from exposure to the identified hazard.
Level 5 Descriptor Disaster Definition Fatality; toxic release off-site with detrimental effect; financial loss (>$1,000,000). Extensive injuries (e.g. permanent disability, amputation) requiring medical treatment, hospitalisation and long term rehabilitation; off-site release with no detrimental effects loss of production capability; financial loss ($500,000 to $1,000,000). Disabling injuries requiring medical treatment and rehabilitation (e.g. broken limbs, hospitalisation); on-site release contained with outside assistance; financial loss ($50,000 to $500,000). Medical treatment required (e.g. stitches, removal of foreign body); on-site release immediately contained; financial loss ($5,000 to $50,000). First aid treatment; negligible environmental damage; financial loss (<$5,000).

2: DETERMINE EXPOSURE: - How often a person interacts with a hazard.

5: RISK TREATMENT STRATEGY Risk Score Required Actions Implement control measures and verify compliance by routine monitoring. Action required within agreed timeframe to minimise risk to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). Further action may be required and management responsibility specified to take this action. The ALARP principle implies that controls have been determined such that the level of risk-reducing action is in proportion to the benefit obtained. Action as soon as possible to minimise risk to acceptable level. Requires attention by senior management and measures should be put in place to reduce the probability, exposure and/or consequence of the outcome occurring to ALARP. Same treatment as for high risks however immediate action required to minimise risk to acceptable level.

3: DETERMINE PROBABILITY The likelihood of the breakdown event and nominated consequences occurring once the person is exposed to the hazard.
Level 1 2 3 4 5 6 Descriptor Almost Certain Quite Possible Unusual but Possible Remotely Possible Conceivable but Unlikely Practically Impossible Definition Breakdown event will almost certainly occur from exposure to hazard. Not unusual for breakdown event occurring, even 50/50 chance. Unusual for breakdown event to occur but possible. Remote possibility of breakdown event occurring but history of occurrence exists within industry. No known history of breakdown event occurring after years of exposure but is conceivably possible. Practically impossible for breakdown event to occur. Has never occurred before and is not likely to occur.
