Safety Observer zones and exclusion limits near overhead powerlines - Energex Authorised Persons

Cavanah Services offers expertise in Exclusion Zones in Electrical Work

An exclusion zone is a minimum safe distance that must be kept from powerlines to reduce the risk of electric shock. People, operating plant and vehicles must stay out of an exclusion zone while an overhead powerline is energised or live.


The size of an exclusion zone depends on the voltage of the powerline, the type of work being done, and the qualifications of people involved.

Energex exclusion zones

safety spotters are required by regulation

In Queensland, exclusion zone distances are regulated by the Electrical Safety Regulation 2013. Working too close without an authorised person on-site can result in fines or serious accidents.


Not sure if your job falls within an exclusion zone? 

Contact Cavanah Services and we'll help you assess the site and provide the right supervision to keep your team safe.
