Sorry if this looks like three questions - but I need to know if these classifications correspond with the approach boundaries I have found in the form NFPA 70 (Limited Approach Boundary, Restricted approach Boundary, Prohibited approach Boundary) It appears in a ppt presentation about H&S regs for working with electricity and refers specifically to a diagram of an electrical installation in an area that has been divided up into the above categories. How I translate voisinage (proximity? vicinity?) is particulary important as it subsequently appears several times in the presentation under headings such as "personnel habilites au voisinage" This was not supposed to be a technical doc! Help would be very welcome.

This leaflet covers the safe working practices to be followed by those
working specifically for and on behalf of Network Operators (NOs)
undertaking routine and emergency tree-work operations near
energised and de-energised overhead power lines
Those trees that are already within the live zone or, if felled, sectioned or pruned, would breach the live zone.

: Absolutely correct. The IEC/IEV is the recognised world reference in this stuff - even if the terms sometimes sound unnatural (e.g. 'vicinity zone').

neighbouring / adjacent
'Neighbouring' or 'adjacent' area/zone' would make the most sense in the context you've supplied.
And of course '...ouring' would be'...oring' for US/Can.

Broadly, from the context you're provided, I'd understand these as 'approach area / adjacent area / high-voltage area'
