Leak detection installation: energy sources and direct controls

Installing leak detection cable and panels routes work along live or soon-to-be-live water systems under raised floors and in service corridors.

High-energy check

The detection system itself is low energy. The hazard is the charged pipework beside the work and floor openings left by lifted tiles.

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

Trigger checks

Pressure
Compressed gas, liquid, hydraulic, pneumatic or vacuum energy.

Direct controls to verify

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

The fill and pressure status of adjacent pipework is confirmed before work.
Lifted floor tiles are barriered while open.
Floor tiles are lifted with tile lifters and stood securely.
Panel power is isolated before wiring work.
Cable routes avoid live electrical equipment under the floor.

For your SPA or pre-start

State which adjacent water systems are filled or pressurised, how floor openings are barriered and how panel power is controlled.
