ELECTRICAL WORK PRACTICES |

Selection and Use of Work Practices - Exposed Energized Parts |
||||||
|
Where live parts present an electrical contact hazard, employees may not
perform housekeeping duties at distances close enough for possible contact unless adequate
safeguards (such as insulating equipment or barriers) are provided. Electrically conductive cleaning materials may not be used in proximity to energized parts unless procedures are followed which will prevent electrical contact. If a portable ladder is to be used where the employee or ladder could contact exposed energized parts, the ladder shall have non-conductive siderails. Only a qualified person following the requirements of this section may defeat an electrical safety interlock, and then only temporarily while he or she is working on the equipment. The interlock system shall be returned to its operable condition when the work is completed. |
