BAS and BMS installation: energy sources and direct controls

Installing controls cabling, sensors and panels routes low-voltage work through plant rooms and risers shared with energised power systems.

High-energy check

The controls themselves are low energy, but the work happens beside energised switchgear, mechanical plant and systems under test. Treat the surroundings as the hazard.

This task's main energy sources are not calculated by this tool. Use the trigger checks below and competent-person verification.

Trigger checks

Electrical
Current, voltage, energisation, arc flash or stored electrical energy.

Direct controls to verify

Ticks stay on this screen only. Nothing is saved or sent.

Energised panels and equipment near the work are identified and briefed.
Panel access is authorised before covers are opened.
Clearance from energised busbars and terminals is maintained.
Cables are routed clear of hot surfaces and moving parts.
Floor tiles lifted for cabling are barriered while open.

For your SPA or pre-start

State which nearby systems are energised or under test, the clearance kept from them, and who confirms panel and riser access is authorised.
