The Victorian Electricity Supply Industry (VESI) has developed a Vegetation Management Guideline to establish industry standards for Vegetation Management workers in the VESI.

The purpose of the guideline is to establish the principles applicable to safe vegetation management work for workers working under the control of the VESI Distribution Networks in the vicinity of the Network Operator assets. This guideline is intended to:

  • provide an agreed standard common to all VESI Network Distribution Operators;
  • assist in the safety of vegetation management workers and the general public;
  • specify the minimum standards required for mobile plant, tools and equipment used in vegetation management work;
  • provide the basic technical material necessary for Network Operators and Service Providers to develop work procedures and related training
