Regulation 14 - Status: Absolute

This regulation prohibits live working except in exceptional defined conditions.

These conditions are that it must be unreasonable in all circumstances for it to be dead and it must be reasonable in all circumstances for the person to be at work on or near it while it is live and suitable precautions must be taken to prevent injury. This is an absolute requirement and live working should not be carried out unless these conditions are met.
