It's queit good material for safety and electrical field employees or students.

49. Responsibilities
• Management
• Training
• Safety
• Corrective action
• Meets code and regulations
• Employees
• Report deficiencies immediately
• Only perform work on equipment authorized / trained for
• Properly inspect all electrical equipment prior to use

50. Hazard Control
• Engineering Controls
• Electrical panels, breakers, disconnects, etc… are enclosed
• When required - water tight enclosures are in use
• Electrical distribution areas are properly grounded
• Clear approach of 36”side and front is maintained
• Conduit is fully supported
• All non-rigid cords have strain relief where necessary
• Administrative Controls
• Only trained & authorized employees conduct electrical repairs
• Barriers & warning signs - prevent unauthorized entry
• Lockout / tagout
• Electrical control devices properly labeled

51. Electrical Equipment
• Examination - free from recognized hazards
• suitability of equipment for an identified purpose
• mechanical strength and durability
• electrical insulation
• heating effects under conditions of use
• arcing effects
• classification by type, size, voltage,current capacity & use
• safeguarding of employees using or coming into contact with equipment
• Identification of Disconnecting Means & Circuits
• shall be legibly marked to indicate its purpose
• at the point where the circuit originates
• each service, feeder, and branch circuit

52. Personal Protective Equipment
• Shall be used when contact with exposed electrical sources are likely
• Shall be designed for the job and environment
• Shall be inspected or tested before use
• Non-conductive head PPE required where overhead or energized parts
exist.
• Eye / face PPE required when electrical arcs, flashes or flying objects
exist.
• Shall maintain insulating capabilities at all times.
• Electrically rated safety shoes / boots / gloves / head gear
• Tools properly insulated
• Electrically rated matting for all distribution panels / utility rooms

53. PPE Continued
• Fuse handling equipment insulated for the circuit voltage
• Ropes and other hand lines
• Portable ladders shall have non-conductive side rails
• Working on elevated platform - REQUIRES - safety watch on the ground
• Personnel working in elevated platforms must wear safety harness and
lanyard
• Lockout tagout
• Locks attached to prevent operating the disconnecting source
• Tag contain a statement prohibiting unauthorized operation
• Warning signs and barricades and or a safety attendant

54. Standard Operating Procedures
Electrical Pre-work Procedures
• Treat all electrical circuits as “Live”
a Obtain permission from supervisor
b Lockout / tagout at electrical power sources
c Verify de-energized conditions exist - operate controls
d Voltmeter verification at live electrical source - must be rated for voltage
e Check exposed circuits phase to ground
f No voltage in exposed circuits - it’s ok to work
g If voltage is detected - Stop - determine source & eliminate voltage
h Conduct work
i Close up exposed circuits, boxes, control panels and equipment
j Remove lock and tag
k Obtain supervisor permission to energize circuits

55. Standard Operating Procedures
Working on Exposed Energized Circuits
• Obtain permission from manager
• Lock out and tag out all circuits possible
• Treat all circuits as energized
• Remove all conductive clothing and jewelry
• Use all required PPE - including shields & barriers
• Inspect all overhead lines before starting
• Provide adequate lighting
• Don’t reach were you cant see
• Approach distance see chart next slide.
