Confined Spaces

Ausgrid has recently reviewed the way it operates in and around confined spaces and as a result, a number of improvements are underway in order to ensure the continued safety of its workers.

Accordingly, Ausgrid is taking this opportunity to remind third parties and their workers of their obligation to comply with the WHS Regulations, the Australian Standard for Confined Spaces and other work health and safety laws at both state and federal levels when accessing Ausgrid’s confined spaces.

Additionally, consistent with their primary function, Ausgrid’s confined spaces typically contain electrical assets with inherent electrical safety and network reliability and security impacts that require consideration and appropriate controls, in addition to any confined space-specific risk assessment and controls.

Should you or workers require any additional information regarding Ausgrid’s confined spaces, do not hesitate to contact us at confinedspaces@ausgrid.com.au.
