If the line or installation is to be de-energised, the employer must ask the operator or user of the line or installation to de-energise it or obtain permission from him to do so himself.
The employer:
1° Does not order work to begin until he has checked that de-energising has taken place;
2° Signs de-energising in a visible manner;
3° Protects himself against the unexpected re-energising of the power supply during the work, preferably by locking the corresponding switchgear or isolating devices in the open position;
4° Does not re-energise the power supply until the work has ceased and personnel are no longer in any danger.
