do what your employer tells you to do, to ensure the electrical safety of people and property around you;
use appropriate personal protective equipment provided by your employer;
use that personal protective equipment properly;
not wilfully or recklessly interfere with or misuse anything provided for electrical safety at your workplace; and
not place others – or yourself – in electrical risk.
