Contr17-Neal Electrical Safety Procedure

1. It is the policy of this facility that all live parts operating at _____ volts or above to which an employee may be exposed shall be de-energized before repair work is done on or near them, unless de-energizing introduces additional or increased hazards, or is not feasible.

2. Prior to working on an energized circuit a _________________ will be completed. (Select All That Apply)

3. Contractor/subcontractor/visitor shall provide documentation verifying that all employees that will be performing work that will/may expose them to electrical shock arc or blast hazards are qualified; and have received training equal to the requirements of the job performed.

4. Electrical equipment and feeders shall be considered energized until tested or otherwise determined to be de-energized.

5. Areas around electrical equipment with emphasis on those with access doors and panels must be kept clear of materials, equipment, or any other article that deter access to the electrical equipment.

6. If the work exposes energized parts that are normally protected, use of “______________ Additional PPE Required Barricade Tape” and other signage or barricades, as necessary, to prevent contact of the hazardous energy by others shall be displayed.

7. Insulated hand tools are not required when working on or near exposed battery terminal.

8. Persons opening, closing or resetting breakers shall stand directly in front of the panel door when performing this task.

9. Devices not designed with load-interrupting capabilities shall not be used as a disconnecting means for energized circuits.

10. Tools used as insulated must display the international _________ symbol and should be inspected before use.

11. Portable ladders used at the Neal plant shall have non-conductive side rails if they are used where the person or the ladder could contact exposed energized parts.

12. Each craftsman shall test their rubber gloves at the start of the work day that they are to be used.

13. No employee shall attempt the repair of an electronic device unless _______ qualified.

14. If covers or panels are removed and the hazardous energy levels are exposed and you leave the area, the covers shall be replaced or an appropriate protective cover of non-conducting material shall be placed over the open box or chassis. Cardboard can be used for this purpose.

15. Laboratory applications utilize capacitors and capacitor banks as sources of pulsed power, blocking/filtering, and oscillator/resonant circuits of sufficient stored energy capability to constitute a potentially serious electrical hazard. A capacitor storing greater than 25 joules can be lethal.
