#Blue greenbooks update#

The 2020 version of the Green Book represents the 4th major review and the latest update to align with the Blue Book is now complete. The Distribution businesses meet the requirements of the Blue Book by more specific rules in the Green Book. In December 2017, the Electrical Safety Committee (ESC) published an updated Blue Book. Individuals and companies wishing to purchase Green Books should in the first instance contact the network operator that they perform the majority of their work with. The Distribution Network Operators have different requirements to those companies and the Green Book describes how we meet those requirements whilst demonstrating compliance to the Blue Book. The Blue Book applies to all persons working on, near or in the vicinity of HV apparatus that is capable of being energised, (including transmission and HV customers).

The Blue Book is published by the Electrical Safety Committee (ESC) as a Code of Practice on electrical safety for work on or near HV electrical apparatus (the Blue Book). The Green Book describes the Electrical Safety Rules for Victorian Distribution Networks and incorporates relevant Distribution related principles from the Blue Book.
