that are required to be accessible to qualified workers only unless the electric conductors and equipment
involved are in a safe working condition.
Operations Managers and Supervisors shall ensure a documented job briefing is held before starting each job
and will include all workers involved. The briefing will cover hazards associated with the job, work procedures
involved, special precautions, energy source controls and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements.
Operations Managers are also responsible for ensuring all applicable electrical safety programs are
implemented and maintained at their locations.
Workers are responsible to use electrical equipment, tools, and appliances according to this program, for
attending required training sessions when directed to do so and to report unsafe conditions to their supervisor

Only qualified workers may work on electric circuit parts or equipment that has not been de-energized. Such
workers shall be made familiar with the use of special precautionary techniques, PPE, insulating and shielding
materials and insulated tools. Prior to any work being done within the Limited Approach Boundary a hazard risk
analysis shall be performed. The analysis shall contain event severity, frequency, probability, and avoidance to
determine the level of safe practices employed.
PROCEDURES
Limited Approach Boundary
The limited approach boundary is the distance from an exposed live part within which a shock hazard exists. It
is a shock protection boundary intended to define the approach limit for unqualified employees and to eliminate
the risk of contact with an exposed energized electrical conductor.
