A borehole wouldn't be classed as a special zone and as I understand it a borehole wouldn't carry the extra risk attached as outlined in bold above.7.2.1.1 The particular requirements of this subclause apply to the basins

increased by a reduction in body resistance and contact of the body with
earth potential.
