Findings on the current assessment

from A-1030 · methodology v4.2
Energised parts reachableR-SB-01Immediate dangerfrom photoS5 × L3 = 15

Live parts can be contacted without removing a cover or using a tool.

Action Restrict access to the board immediately and have an electrical worker restore the dead front before it is handed back.

Arc flash / electric shock · due 2026-03-28 · AS/NZS 3000 §1.5.4

Blanking or gland plate missingR-SB-02Non-conformingfrom photoS4 × L3 = 12

An unused way or cutout is open, so the enclosure no longer provides its rated protection.

Action Fit correct blanks and gland plates. Do not use tape or sheet offcuts.

Arc flash / electric shock · due 2026-04-04 · IEC 61439-1 §8.4.2

No arc-flash or shock-hazard labellingR-SB-03Non-conformingfrom photoS3 × L4 = 12

The board carries no hazard label, so a worker cannot select PPE from information at the equipment.

Action Calculate incident energy for the board and fit a label showing the boundary and PPE category.

Arc flash / electric shock · due 2026-04-27 · NFPA 70E §130.5(H)

Working space obstructed by stored materialR-SB-08Non-conformingfrom photoS3 × L4 = 12

Material is stored in the space a worker must occupy to operate or escape from the board.

Action Clear the zone, mark it on the floor, and give the displaced material a defined home.

Access, egress and emergency response impaired · due 2026-04-04 · AS/NZS 3000 §2.9.3

Thermographic survey overdueR-SB-06Records / traceabilityS2 × L4 = 8

No thermographic survey has been recorded within the interval.

Action Book the survey while the board is under representative load, and file the report against the board identifier.

Loss of design or inspection traceability · due 2026-05-27 · NETA MTS §9.15

Circuit schedule missing or out of dateR-SB-10Records / traceabilityS2 × L4 = 8

The circuit schedule does not match the installed ways, so isolation cannot be planned from it.

Action Verify every way and reprint the schedule inside the door.

Loss of design or inspection traceability · due 2026-04-27 · AS/NZS 3000 §2.10

Main switch not identifiedR-SB-15Records / traceabilityS2 × L4 = 8

The main switch is not labelled, delaying isolation in an emergency.

Action Label the main switch with what it isolates, in durable marking.

Access, egress and emergency response impaired · due 2026-04-27 · AS/NZS 3000 §2.3.2
