The removal of hangers and formwork and the removal of the framework supporting these installations may only be carried out under the supervision of a competent person appointed by the employer.
The provisions of this sub-section apply when work is carried out in the vicinity of electrical lines, pipes and installations: 1° Located outside premises and in the low-voltage A area (BTA), i.e. whose voltage exceeds 50 volts, without exceeding 500 volts in alternating current, or exceeds 120 volts, without exceeding 750 volts in smooth direct current; 2° Located outside or inside premises and in the low-voltage B area (BTB), i.e….
Any employer who intends to carry out work in the vicinity of electrical lines or installations shall obtain information from the operator, whether the local representative of the energy distribution company or the operator of the public or private line or installation in question, on the voltage values of these lines or installations. In the light of this information, the employer must ensure that, while the work is being carried…
To determine the minimum distances to be observed in relation to normally energised bare conductive parts, account must be taken of: 1° All possible movements of the energised bare conductive parts of the electrical line, pipe or installation; 2° All possible movements, shifting, swinging, whipping, particularly in the event of a broken component, or falling of the equipment used for the planned work.

In the latter case, the employer shall comply with the requirements of paragraph 4.
Where it has been agreed to de-energise the line, pipe or electrical installation, whether underground or not, the employer shall ask the operator to de-energise the line, pipe or electrical installation.

Work cannot begin until the employer is in possession of the de-energisation certificate, written, dated and signed by the operator.

Once the employer has issued the work stoppage notice, he may only resume work if he is in possession of a new de-energisation certificate.
