Electrical Safety for
Electrical Workers
(Lock Out & Tag Out and Arc
Flash)
Arc Flash and Electrocution are
two of the main hazards that electrical workers
are exposed to on a regular basis.
The days of changing breakers,
tying in circuits with a live panel and little
or no PPE, are almost gone. Approximately 4
years ago the Ontario Electrical Safety
Authority started a promotion of workplace
safety based on NFPA 70E, which is the American
Standard for electrical workplace safety. Canada
has since created its on standard through CSA
Z462 Workplace Electrical Safety.
Through CSA Z462 the electrical
industry comprised of representatives from;
labour, management, utility providers,
educational facilities and government
representatives, came together to create a
consensus safety standard for electrical
workers.
The Ontario OHSA requires
employers to 'take all reasonable care to
protect health and safety of their workers'
Section 189 -194 of the construction regulations
provides employers with requirements that will
go toward protecting workers safety.
