5 Carry out line location and physical inspection of proposed location

Obtain site plans where possible. Underground service location must be completed by a trained and competent person. The contractor performing this work must supply a SWMS and reference this on the WPCG work clearance form. If this contractor is not BP accredited, they must be supervised by a contractor accredited by BP to supervise sub-contractors. Correct PPE equipment must be worn, which as a minimum includes a safety helmet, safety boots, and Hi-Viz cotton neck to toe clothing. Where locating extends towards canopy or areas of heavy traffic, a second person as a spotter is required. If any location is required in a hazardous zone. STOP WORK and contact your BP representative. A Hot Work Permit is required for this scope of the work before it can proceed.

6 Check for other unidentified services

Review the work area for services that may have been missed by underground service locator, e.g. PVC water pipe or airlines. Look for signage and other signs of ground disturbance.



7 Verify proposed location of earthing electrode is more than 0.5m from existing services located.

Only proceed if all identified services in the work area are located and the location for installation of the earthing electrode is more than 0.5m from these services. If this cannot be achieved, STOP WORK and contact your BP representative for a Ground Disturbance Certificate as this work instruction cannot be used.

8 Install earthing electrode

When installing the earthing electrode use only a percussion hammer drill or mallet. Minimum PPE is safety helmet, safety boots, Hi-Viz cotton neck to toe clothing, safety glasses and gloves.
