Personnel Protection Safeguards - General Protective Equipment and Tools |
||||||
| It is not enough to use insulated personal protection equipment when working
near energized conductors or circuit paths. General tools or handling equipment must also
be insulated if the tools could come in contact with energized electric parts. Fuse handling equipment, insulated for the circuit voltage, shall be used to remove or install fuses when the fuse terminals are energized. Ropes and handlines used near exposed energized parts shall be non-conductive. Protective shields, protective barriers, or insulating materials shall be used to protect each employee from shock, burns, or other electrically-related injuries while that employee is working near exposed energized parts which might be accidentally contacted or where dangerous electric heating or arcing might occur. When normally enclosed live parts are exposed for maintenance or repair, they shall be guarded to protect unqualified persons from contact with the live parts. If the insulating capability of insulated tools or handling equipment is subject to damage, the insulating material shall be protected. |
