Is it a site visit only? (No physical works)

Note: Physical work means tasks that require someone to do work on items within that location and that would require the use of their hands or tools.


Read the Quick Reference Instruction (QRI)

QRIs have been developed to aid in the safety of the worker when undertaking tasks.

The following QRI outlines the requirements for a visitor to a Horizon Power Operational site that will not physically undertake work. Among other things, the visitor must be accompanied by an authorised responsible person (Horizon Power Employee or Contractor) who is authorised for the area they are to access.
