Precautions
De-energize
the Circuit
High Voltage! Employees servicing or maintaining VRCs may be
exposed to death or serious personal injury if hazardous energy is
not properly controlled. De-energize any circuit before work is begun.
Follow your facilities procedures or OSHA lockout/tagout (LOTO)
procedures anytime maintenance or service is being performed on any
electrical box or component.
The incoming voltage source must match the voltage identified on the rating tag.
The rating tag provides essential technical information required for any installation,
maintenance, or repairs. Do not remove, damage, or modify the rating tag.
1. Lockout/tagout whenever any work, maintenance, or service is performed
on any electrical box or component. Make sure circuits are de-energized
before starting work, using a functional, properly rated, and well
maintained multimeter or voltage sensing device. Make sure the device is
rated for the level of voltage being measured and is sensitive enough for
the application.
2. Use fuse pullers to change a fuse;
never
use bare hands, pliers,
or screwdrivers.
3. Install covers on exposed electrical devices or wires to protect personnel
from serious injury.
4. Ground all metal connection boxes, switch boxes, starting boxes,
transformers, motors, limit switches, interlocks, and push-button stations
to prevent shock to personnel.
5. When using a portable meter, never leave one lead dangling with the other
lead connected. Anyone touching the lead may receive a shock through
the meter.
6. Make sure that all is clear following lockout/tagout procedures before
applying power to a circuit. This is necessary in order to protect personnel
from injury and to prevent damage to the equipment.
7. Avoid accidental contact with equipment or conductors which are known to
be energized or are
not
known to be de-energized. If it is necessary to work
on equipment while it is energized, use extra care. Always test and repair
equipment that appears damaged or delivers an electric shock.
Take time to be careful! Follow all safety precautions to prevent death or
personal injury.
