The Powerlink Electrical Safety Rules (Rules) prescribe the minimum standard for electrical safety work practices related to Powerlink Queensland’s Electricity Transmission Network.

At Powerlink, the safety of our employees, contractors, and the communities in which we operate remains paramount. Every individual is responsible and accountable for managing electrical safety, with our leaders actively demonstrating this commitment.

These Rules are an essential part of Powerlink’s safety management system and must always be applied. Everyone must ensure they meet or exceed the requirements of these Rules and have a current copy readily available.

These Rules are designed to complement the Electrical Safety Act 2002 (Qld) and are developed and maintained through Powerlink consultative mechanisms with the support of key stakeholders.
