Electrical Safety Program

$25.00

The Electrical Safety Program establishes requirements for protecting employees from electrical hazards while working with or near electrical equipment, wiring, circuits, tools, and installations. Electrical hazards can result in electric shock, electrocution, burns, arc flash, fires, explosions, falls, and other serious injuries. The program establishes safe work practices for identifying electrical hazards, preventing accidental contact with energized parts, and ensuring electrical equipment is properly installed, inspected, maintained, and used.

The program addresses electrical hazard recognition, energized and de-energized electrical work, lockout/tagout, grounding, Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs), extension cords, temporary wiring, electrical panels, flexible cords, portable electric tools, overhead power lines, personal protective equipment (PPE), and safe approach practices. Employees must inspect electrical equipment before use, protect cords and equipment from damage, maintain required clearances, and remove defective electrical equipment from service. Only qualified employees may perform work requiring specialized electrical knowledge or exposure to energized electrical parts. Requirements also address electrical training, warning signs and barriers, test instruments, emergency response, and safe work practices to help prevent electrical accidents, shock, electrocution, and workplace electrical injuries.

Description

The Electrical Safety Program provides a structured framework for identifying and controlling electrical hazards associated with equipment, wiring, circuits, tools, and electrical installations. It establishes responsibilities for management, supervisors, qualified employees, and other affected employees and addresses electrical hazard recognition, safe work practices, equipment condition, inspections, hazardous-energy control, and protection from energized components.

The program addresses energized and de-energized work, lockout/tagout, grounding and GFCI protection, extension cords and flexible cords, temporary wiring, electrical panels, portable electric tools, overhead power lines, approach and clearance requirements, barriers and warning signs, test instruments, electrical PPE, and emergency response. It also establishes procedures for restricting specialized electrical work to qualified employees, controlling access to electrical hazards, removing damaged equipment from service, and maintaining electrical installations and protective devices in safe operating condition.

Provided in editable Microsoft Word format, the program can be customized for your company’s electrical equipment, facilities, work activities, employee qualifications, and electrical safety procedures. It can be incorporated into a comprehensive Safety Manual or used as a standalone Electrical Safety Program.
