Once the electrical power system has been verified and evaluated you will have a better understanding of your electrical power system and the equipment.  There will be a lot of information to process once all of the tasks listed above are complete.  We will provide you with a summary report of all of our findings, a list of deficiencies (in order of priority) that require attention and provide you with the required assistance to ensure that the right solutions are provided.  If this work has been done already, we can review the reports and summarize the findings, provide you with a list of deficiencies and assist you with the right solutions.   Click on the links above to read more about our electrical power system studies. Your well on your way to providing due diligence towards worker safety.

To develop an effective electrical safety program, you need to have a comprehensive understanding of the provincial regulations, the laws, and the standards that are in place.  You may or may not have the experience, the time or the resources to do the research needed to get things started.   There are many rules that need to be applied and they depend on the province that you are in.  You need to be aware of any laws that you are required to comply with and you need to be able to apply the best practice standards that exist.  We can assist you with this work by providing you with access to our expert advisors, our data base of articles, policies, safe work practices and by working with you from the start through to completion.

Here is a quote from the CSA Z462 Workplace Electrical Safety Standard;

4.1.7 Electrical safety program

4.1.7.1 General

Employers shall implement and document an overall electrical safety program that directs activity appropriate for the electrical hazards, voltage, energy level, and circuit conditions in and around the work site.

Notes:

(1) Safety-related work practices are just one component of an overall electrical safety program.

(2) Effective application of the requirements of this Standard can be best achieved within the framework of a recognized occupational health and safety management system. Annex A provides information on applying the requirements of this Standard within the framework of an occupational health and safety management system.

(3) CAN/CSA-Z1000 provides a framework for establishing a comprehensive electrical safety program as a component of an employer’s occupational safety and health management system.

Although the CSA Z462 is not law, but a standard of best practice, using the standard and its related guidelines in the development of your electrical safety program shows good due diligence.  The CSA Z462, originally released in 2008, is the second edition of this standard which has gained acceptance in the industry since its release.  Some of the provinces have begun to make reference to the standard within the appropriate safety laws and the Canadian Electrical Code  also makes reference to the standard.  The CSA Z462 is a very good publication with valuable information.  Our electrical safety program development made simple has been modelled to incorporate voluntary compliance to meet the intent of the CSA Z462.
