If you are potentially exposed to live electrical parts, you need to understand that electricity can cause severe injuries and death when safe work practices are not followed. While electricity is very powerful, it is not unpredictable. We can evaluate electrical hazards and then follow the safety precautions that will protect us from them.
As qualified electrical workers, we must treat each encounter with respect and caution so we can arrive home safely at the end of the day. This video covers most of the training requirements and safe work practices for qualified workers outlined in OSHA 1910 Subpart (S). Featured are several incidents involving electricity in which unsafe acts by employees have resulted in serious injury or death.
Topics of the program include qualified worker status, electrical arcing and arc blasts, protective clothing requirements for qualified workers, limited approach and prohibited approach boundaries, use of voltage-rated gloves and other PPE, performing live work and de-energizing equipment.
