Electrical Safety Audit


Creating a Roadmap for a Safer Workplace
The Martin Technical Electrical Safety Inspection Report focuses on installations and safe work practices at your site (s) based on the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70E, NFPA 70B, and OSHA 1910.331-335. This report will be conducted by a specialist who has a strong understanding of these various standards/laws and who is field experienced in electrical plant environments. It is important to point out that that these standards and laws can, based on the official making the inspection, be subjective to interpretation and site situation. Additionally, installations, practices and procedures changed, modified or altered following the inspection. Thus, this inspection report will be a foundation in working towards a safer workplace for your employees. The report will focus on the following categories: o NEC Compliance o OSHA / NFPA 70E Arc Flash & Electrical Safety Compliance o Assured Equipment Grounding o Ground Fault Circuit Interruption Protection o Lock Out / Tag Out o Qualified Electrical Worker Training OBJECTIVES Identify and provide corrective actions for potentially hazardous electrical situations Determine electrical system & electrical safety compliance with: o National Electrical Code o NFPA 70E o NFPA 70B o OSHA 1910.331-335 Review and provide corrective actions for electrical safety work processes Review and provide corrective actions for electrical maintenance tools Identify potential cost savings and efficiencies through modifications of electrical system

WORK PROCESS Each site visit will entail an inspection of equipment and installations to identify items from the service point of your buildings down through the feeder circuits to various branch circuits. Inspectors will be taking pictures. Martin Technical will also examine and assess your personnel and workplace procedures. Thus, we will require all current record keeping on all electrical maintenance personnel down to the maintenance shops, their tools, meters, PPE, workplace standards, and maintenance record keeping and PM procedures. The Inspection Report will itemize observations in which CFR or NFPA standards are not being met and the corrective action. The criticality of the items will be ranked on a subjective scale of 1 to 5.

Observation / Description of concern: Electrical service equipment mounted in "line of sight" of passing heavy machinery without protection.

Electrical Equipment Exposed Substantiation:

Note Heavy Equipment & Building Damage

In 29 CFR 1910.303(g)(1)(vii)(B), OSHA states that outdoor electric equipment shall be installed in suitable enclosures and shall be protected from accidental contact by unauthorized personnel, or by vehicular traffic. 1910.303(g)(2)(ii) requires that electric equipment that is likely to be exposed to physical damage must have enclosures or guards to be arranged and of such strength as to prevent such damage. The NEC requires in subsection 110.12(B) that there be no damaged parts that may adversely affect safe operation or mechanical strength of the equipment such as parts that are broken. Recommended corrective action: Place substantial bollards in front of and outside of the working space of the equipment or relocate equipment to a place not in line of sight of heavy equipment. An example of a typical bollard
