Regular Equipment Maintenance
Regular maintenance of electrical equipment can prevent faults and reduce the risk of accidents. Applicable for all types of electrical installations and devices.
Arc Flash Analysis
Arc Flash Analysis determines the potential exposure to arc flash energy and is conducted to help protect workers from arc blast. Apply when working with high voltage equipment or in areas where such hazards are present.
Risk Assessment Procedure
Risk assessments identify, analyze, and control hazards related to electrical work. Apply before commencing any electrical task.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
PPE for electrical work may include rubber insulating gloves, arc flash suits, and face shields. It's applied when working on or near exposed live parts or when there is a potential for electrical hazards.
Insulated Tools and Equipment
Insulated tools are designed with materials that do not conduct electricity, which reduces the risk of electric shock. Use when working on or near live electrical components.
Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
Lockout/Tagout procedures ensure that dangerous machines are properly shut off and not started up again prior to the completion of maintenance or servicing work. Apply when machines or equipment are serviced or maintained.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
A GFCI is a device that quickly breaks an electrical circuit when it detects a ground fault or current leak. Apply in wet locations or where electrical equipment is near water.
Electrical Safety Training
Safety training educates workers on how to work safely with or near electrical systems and equipment. Apply to all new hires and regularly for all staff working with electricity.
Cable Management
Proper cable management prevents tripping hazards and protects cables from damage. Apply in any environment where cables run across areas where people walk or work.
Voltage Testing
Voltage testing is performed to ensure that circuits are de-energized before work begins. Apply before maintenance or any work on electrical equipment.
Emergency Response Plan
A well-developed emergency response plan contains procedures for dealing with various electrical emergencies, such as electric shock and arc flash. Apply within all workplaces with electrical hazards.
Electrical Work Permits
Work permits are required for electrical work that poses a high risk, ensuring the work is planned and executed safely. Apply before any high-risk electrical work begins.
