This task involves the safe removal of electrical metering equipment from the point of supply. Key hazards include electric shock, arc flash, incorrect isolation, and exposure to asbestos-containing meter panels. Control measures include isolating and testing for dead, applying lockout/tagout procedures, using insulated tools and arc-rated PPE, and following network provider disconnection protocols. If asbestos is suspected, appropriate precautions must be taken, including use of P2 masks and avoiding disturbance. Only licensed electricians may carry out the work. All personnel must be trained, inducted, and emergency procedures must be in place.
