The rules cover high-risk activities such as work at height, electrical permits, and vehicle safety, with a zero-tolerance policy for violations that can lead to disciplinary action. Bidders must ensure their workforce is trained, medically fit, and follows all permit and risk-assessment requirements before starting any work.

Work at height must be avoided where practicable; if unavoidable, workers must be medically fit and properly secured.
All persons in Eskom vehicles must wear seatbelts at all times; drivers are responsible for passenger safety.
Violations of Life-Saving Rules will be treated as serious misconduct and may result in disciplinary action under the Eskom Disciplinary Code.
Contractors must provide Eskom with a copy of any disciplinary sanction imposed on an employee for violating Life-Saving Rules.
