♦ NSI-5 National Grid Approved 

NSI-5 is a National Safety Instruction from National Grid UK Electricity Transmission that provides guidance on working safely on and around LV MV HV underground cable systems and overhead lines – this electrical safety covers how to apply safety rules to protect people working on or near cable systems and their accessories for voltage classes: 11kV, 33kV, 66kV and 132kV.

NSI-5 covers the following:

• Working under impressed voltage conditions: How to work safely when there is impressed voltage, such as when applying test voltages to cables. 
• Cable systems: How to work safely with cable systems, including optical fibre cables. 
• Safety documents: How to use safety documents to ensure work is done safely and effectively. 
• Competent people: How to identify and work with competent people who are responsible for safety.
