Safety Information
Careful planning of every job is essential. Nothing should be taken for granted. Do not take
chances!
• Read and follow all approved policies and procedures provided by your employer
associated with the procedures in this manual.
• The procedures in this manual must only be performed by qualified workers in
accordance with local utility safety practices, utility requirements, and applicable OSHA
and NFPA standards.
• The information contained in this document is intended to aid qualified personnel, and is

General Electrical Safety
• Perform the procedures in this manual in accordance with applicable workplace
standards established by the following agencies:
— Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
— The National Electrical Code published by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA-70).
— National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).
— Electronics Industries Association (EIA).
— Insulated Power Cable Engineers Association (IPCEA).
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Whenever possible, de-energize all
circuits or equipment before working on them.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 feet (3 meters) between line potential and all
unqualified persons at all times.
• Keep unauthorized people out of the work area. Be especially cautious of children, who
tend to be drawn to work activity.
• Determining if a circuit is OFF can be difficult in some instances. Check for circuit voltage
with an appropriate voltmeter before working on equipment presumed to have been
de-energized. Tiebreakers, double throw disconnect switches, automatic transfer
switches and emergency generators can supply power through an alternate circuit or
from another source.
WARNING: Severe shock and explosion hazard! Touching energized parts can result in
massive equipment damage, and severe injury or death. Short-circuiting energized parts will
result in blinding flash and explosion. Opening and closing electrical circuits can also produce
dangerous and explosive arc flashes. Involuntary muscular reactions associated with electrical
shock may result in other injuries. Observe the following safety guidelines.
