Transpower provide the following operational guidance:

1. “If the Elevated Work Platform has a dedicated earthingElectrical earthing, also known as grounding, is a safety me... More plate on the bucket, then a breakaway bond should always be used.
2. If the earthingElectrical earthing, also known as grounding, is a safety me... More plate is bolted onto the bucket, it should be tested before use to confirm a resistance of less than 60 micro-ohms.
3. Always request EWPs fitted with dedicated earthingElectrical earthing, also known as grounding, is a safety me... More plates when hiring plant.
4. Test any bolted earthingElectrical earthing, also known as grounding, is a safety me... More plates before use.  Welded plates are much better and remove the need for testing.
5. The breakaway bond connected to the personnel bucket of the EWP is the best means of creating an equipotential zone to protect workers.”
