OSHA REQUIRED TRAINING

OSH

EQU

It is difficult to absolutely determine what training is required by OSHA with statements such as: “Shall also betrained in and familiar with any electrically related safety practices not specifically addressed by 1910.331through 1910.335 bbbbbuuuuut wt wt wt wt whihihihihiccccch arh arh arh arh are ne ne ne ne neeeeeccccceeeeessssssssssararararary fy fy fy fy fooooor thr thr thr thr theeeeeir sir sir sir sir saaaaafffffeeeeetttttyyyyy” (1910.332 (b)(2)). Some guidance can be gainedby reading the foreword to NFPA 70E. It says that NFPA 70E was created to assist OSHA in preparing electricalsafety standards and was “intended for use by employers, employees, and OSHA.”

Article 110.16 Flash Protection from the 2002 NEC requires field markings to warn qualifiedemployees of arc flash hazards, and directly references NFPA 70E-2000 for assistance indetermining the potential hazard, developing safe work procedures, and selecting personalprotective equipment. NFPA 70E-2000 further recommends training for qualified personnel inthe selection, care, and use of personal protective clothing and equipment based on thepotential hazard…

Some conclusions and guides can be drawn from the regulation itself and from OSHA directives.Much of the following information is taken from Directive Number STD 1—16.7, ElectricalSafety-Related Work Practices—Inspection Procedures and Interpretation Guidelines. ThisOSHA document makes recommendations and guides OSHA inspectors in the field.

“training practices…shall be evaluated to assess whether the training provided is appropriate tothe tasks being performed…”

“must be trained in safety-related work practices required by 29CFR 1910.331-335.”

“unqualified employees must be trained in the inherent hazards of electricity…”

“qualified employees must include at the minimum…ability to distinguish exposed liveparts...ability to determine the nominal voltage…knowledge of clearance and/or approachdistances…”

Definition of “Qualified Electrical Worker” from the 2002 National Electric Code now includes“…must have had electrical safety training.”

“Training requirements apply to all employees in occupations that carry a risk of injury due toelectrical hazards…”

Qualified or Unqualified?“Whether an employee is considered to be a “qualified person” will depend on various circumstances inthe workplace. It is possible and, in fact, likely for an individual to be considered “qualified” with regardto certain equipment in the workplace, but “unqualified” as to other equipment. (See 29 CFR 1910.332(b)(3) for training)” Even employees considered “unqualified” to perform energized electrical workmay face hazards of shock or arc and blast if they work around electrical equipment or performswitching functions (turn equipment on or off) in the plant or facility.

Training Services

PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT SERVICE

Performance Assessment Service is another service we offer to our customers to help:

√√√√√ Manage Risk√√√√√ Improve Performance√√√√√ Increase Efficiency√√√√√ Increase Return on Personnel Dollars

The ultimate goal of the Performance Assessment is to protect human life, protect property, complywith codes and standards, and increase efficiency through continuous and enhanced operations.

To accomplish this an independent evaluation of six key areas is provided:

I. Equipment InstallationIncorrectly installed equipment or inadequate equipment can lead to increaseddowntime or catastrophic failure. Improperly installed equipment occurs when fieldmodifications are made during the installation of the equipment.

II. Equipment Operation & UseCorrectly designed, constructed, and installed equipment can still present a hazard tohuman life and property, process inefficiency, as well as increasing probability offailure if used or operated improperly.

III. Policy & ProceduresAn independent review of procedures that are outlined by a regulating body, thoseestablished at Corporate level, and those established at the plant level can greatlyenhance risk management.

IV. Personnel SafetySafety cannot be achieved without the right attitude, knowledge, and tools. However,if the common accepted practices are reviewed with an unbiased eye, a high level ofsafety can be achieved.

V. Equipment MaintenanceThe best equipment installed in the best manner can still present a hazard to humanlife and property if not maintained properly.

VI. Energy EfficiencyA facility energy audit will help identify each of the opportunities for saving energy costs.And, since every dollar of reduced operating expenses goes straight to the bottom line, thepayback period for energy saving projects can be very short. Some utilities are alsoproviding incentives that further shorten the payback period.
