Whether you’re a small contractor or a large industrial, commercial or institutional organization, your workers are performing energized electrical work tasks every day that put them at risk of serious injury.

An effective and compliant Electrical Safety Program provides the necessary foundation your company needs to help protect your workers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your organization already follows OH&S Acts, Codes and Regulations at the federal and provincial levels as required by law, and you likely already manage an overarching Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSMS) of policies and procedures relating to all the different types of work tasks and activities your employees perform day to day.

An OHSMS identifies and quantifies hazards, and has appropriate preventive and protective control measures to mitigate or reduce risk to workers. For electrical hazards, this safety management system is called an Electrical Safety Program.

Industry best-practice Standards regarding electrical safety and energized electrical work tasks such as the NFPA 70E in the USA and the CSA Z462 in Canada, among a number of others, include electrical specific processes, policies and procedures.

These must be incorporated into a company specific Electrical Safety Program as part of your OHSMS that outlines the specific protocols to be followed for all work tasks, to help keep your electrical workers safe by reducing or eliminating the risk of injury or death from electrical hazards.

A compliant Electrical Safety Program should include the following:

  • A Table of Contents, for ease of reference
  • The program’s Purpose, Principles and Scope
  • Roles and Responsibilities defined, including management and contractor expectations
  • Worker training requirements
  • Job safety planning, detailing all formal paperwork required and when to use them
  • Arc flash & shock PPE, tools and equipment management
  • Emergency response plans
  • And much more, depending on your unique operations

Talk to us today about what a compliant Electrical Safety Program might look like for your organization.

Employers and workers alike benefit from a complete and compliant Electrical Safety Program consistent with accepted OHSMS standards and industry best practices.

Employers maximize OH&S due diligence requirements for management of the electrical hazards of arc flash & shock, while reducing liability for the risks involved to workers and third-party contractors.

Worker productivity increases because of more effective and streamlined processes, and employees build confidence in knowing they have management’s support in giving them the tools they need to be successful and therefore helping to keep them safe.

Benefits of an effective Electrical Safety Program can best be realized with a consistent top-down approach from management that includes:

  • A complete and compliant program customized to unique operations
  • Implementation to all workers and business units
  • Practical worker training on the program and any updates
  • Yearly program auditing for changes, updates and feedback

Your business keeps moving, and you already have a full-time job. You and your team don’t have the bandwidth to dedicate hundreds and hundreds of hours to developing a much-needed complete and compliant Electrical Safety Program for your organization.
