(2) If considered necessary by the licensing authority for obviating risk of shock, guardrails shall be constructed of English oak or teak, and any metal within reach of a person on the platform shall be satisfactorily protected.
79. (1) Wiring shall not be run in a ventilating duct, flue or air shaft, or installed in a lift unless it is essential for the operation of the lift.
(2) A cable duct shall be stopped at any point at which it passes through a fire-resisting wall or floor so as to prevent the passage of fire or smoke from one section of the duct to another.
(3) Cable ways shall not be formed in the protective covering of structural steel work.
(4) Conduits shall be efficiently protected against corrosion.
(5) Where cables are permitted without conduits or similar protection (e.g. for connexions to battens), they shall be efficiently protected by an asbestic or other non-inflammable covering and shall be supported to the satisfaction of the licensing authority. This paragraph shall not apply to cables used in connexion with portable apparatus.

Heavy pendent fittings or apparatus shall, unless rigidly fixed, be provided with 2 means of suspension independent of the conductors.
