FAQs for Electrical Spotters
A: Overhead Powerlines: You legally require a registered Electrical Spotter whenever powered plant or equipment operates within 6.4 metres of overhead powerlines. The spotter's sole task is to monitor clearance distances and warn the operator. Operating closer than 3.0 metres enters the strict No-Go Zone, which requires a formal permit and approval from the electrical network authority before work can begin.
Underground Services: A spotter is also required when excavating, boring, or operating heavy machinery near underground assets (like power cables, gas pipes, or communications). Mechanical excavation is generally restricted within 500 mm of a known underground service (or up to 3.0 metres for high-pressure assets), requiring a spotter to ensure assets are safely exposed or avoided without contact.
