One of the most interesting spheres which allow steady improvement of the quality of electricity supply service in the European Union and worldwide, but also in Poland, are the techniques and procedures to ensure reliable maintenance and repairs of the power network, power lines and installations and power equipment without the need to resort to power cuts.
The purpose of this paper is to compare the quality management and safety aspects within the Live working (LW) framework. The study draws upon study carried out among the Slovenian electrical distribution and international study which was carried out among Slovenian and foreign LW experts. The results of the first study suggested that health and safety aspects of LW are vital for achieving efficiency...
The paper present the methods used in recent years in the national power grid to operate more efficiently as high voltage equipment. It includes shares of minor maintenance and operation undertaken by our company for management installations. It also briefly describes the results of applying new technologies and the technical analysis performed using such technical data. As part of asset management...
In France, grid live working is supervised by the Ministry of Labour and the Ministry of Industry. In the early sixties, both ministries together with transmission and distribution supply operators (TSO and DSO) decided to create the “Live Working Committee” to entrust all grid live work regulation.

This paper analyzes the main OSH international standars, the bases of continuous improvement and the principal aspects of Integrated Managemant Systems.
We intend to show in this paper, the development of new live line working tools (LLWT), that we were forced to develop in the company when moving on live line working (LLW) from 13.2 kV. to 33 kV. systems. Moving to a higher voltage level, faced some problems to solve.
Live work training centres are unique places where electricians learn and develop their professional skills, but also a place where instructors use the latest andragogy approaches and techniques to transfer knowledge. Experts for live work education and training are rare and valuable human resource of every company. Being faced with retirement and other natural workmen fluctuation companies need to...
Until 1976, the Portuguese electrical sector was fragmented into several companies operating at regional or even local scale. In the aftermaths of the April Revolution of1974, there was large-scale nationalization program to which the electrical sector was no exception. Electricidade de Portugal (EDP) was created in 1976 with the fusion of 13 nationalized companies. Several development programs were...
Amendments to the New Zealand health and safety at work legislation placed an increasing focus upon live work activities within the electricity transmission and distribution industry — particularly processes to be applied to reflect regulatory and legislative requirements to eliminate risks to health and safety, so far as reasonably practicable. While the New Zealand electricity supply industry has...
