The Qualified Employee Program consists of a series of training modules specific to your plan/site which will provide plant personnel with the electrical safety techniques necessary to operate and maintain plant electrical systems. This electrical safety compliance taining will assist in maintaining compliance with OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.269 "Generation, Transmission, and Distribution", 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S - Electrical and other applicable OSHA standards which reference electrical safety.
QEP-02: Basic Safety Considerations
Purpose:
This module covers the knowledge and skill requirements needed to determine the types of personal protective equipment required of qualified employees performing work on or near energized electrical equipment. This module also covers the first three knowledge and skill requirements required of qualified employees. The module will teach the participant various methods for distinguishing exposed live parts, determining nominal voltages, and the minimum approach distances for qualified employees and unqualified employees of the various voltage levels found at their plant.
Objectives:
The employee will be able to:- Define or describe using your own words the definition of; bond, bus, bushing, cable, cable sheath, circuit, clearance, conductor, covered conductor, current carrying part, electric equipment, equipotential, exposed, insulated, insulation, high voltage, low voltage, minimum approach distances, safety low voltage, step potential, switch, and touch potential.
- Demonstrate the proper use of required personal protective equipment used in their work environment
- Analyze work areas and make use of the proper clothing requirements when working near energized lines or equipment
- Determine the conditions where they would expect journeyman qualified employees to be wearing fire retardant clothing
- Restate the type of clothing material that is not allowed to be worn in their work environment and the reason for this requirement
- Utilize knowledge to identify the situations when they may be required to wear fire retardant clothing
- Identify and describe the common methods used to create an equipotential zone
- Make use of the techniques for distinguishing exposed live parts
- Identify the components of an electrical system that are normally associated with exposed live parts
- Make use of the techniques for determining nominal voltages on exposed live parts
- Make use of plant information and correctly identify system voltages
- Recall the minimum approach distances for qualified employees and unqualified persons of the various voltage levels of the equipment associated with the generating facilities in your work location
