Safety-Related Work Practices
{"Image DocumentName": "Safety-Related Work Practices", "Image ImageDescription": "Use special insulated tools when working on fuses with energized terminals. Don\u2019t use worn or frayed cords and cables. Don\u2019t fasten extension cords with staples, hang from nails, or suspend by wire , Only qualified persons may work on electric circuit parts or equipment that have not been deenergized. Such persons shall be capable of working safely on energized circuits and shall be familiar with the proper use of special precautionary techniques, PPE, insulating and shielding materials, and insulated tools. Deenergize live parts that an employee may be exposed to before the employee works on or near them, unless the employer can demonstrate that deenergizing introduces additional or increased hazards or is infeasible due to equipment design or operational limitations. Live parts that operate at less than 50 volts to ground need not be deenergized if there will be no increased exposure to electrical burns or to explosion due to electric arcs. If the exposed live parts are not deenergized other safety-related work practices shall be used to protect employees who may be exposed to the electrical hazards. Employees must be protected against contact with energized circuit parts with any part of their body or indirectly through some other conductive object. Lock or tag out (or both) the circuits energizing the parts while any employee is exposed to contact with parts of fixed electric equipment or circuits which have been deenergized. If working near overhead lines, the lines shall be deenergized and grounded, or other protective measures shall be provided before work is started. Portable cord and plug connected equipment and extension cords shall be visually inspected before use on any shift for external defects (such as loose parts, deformed and missing pins, or damage to outer jacket or insulation) and for evidence of possible internal damage (such as pinched or crushed outer jacket).
