Overview
The Electrical Work Module provides hazards and controls specific to electrical work, aligned with NFPA 70E requirements.
Electrical Hazards
Shock Hazards
- Contact with energized conductors
- Contact with energized equipment
- Induced voltage
- Step and touch potential
Arc Flash Hazards
- Arc flash exposure
- Arc blast
- Molten metal projection
- Intense light/UV
Other Electrical Hazards
- Burns (thermal)
- Fire ignition
- Equipment damage
- Secondary injuries (falls from shock)
Electrical Controls
Energy Control
- Lockout/Tagout
- Verify zero energy
- Test before touch
- Grounding/bonding
PPE (Arc-Rated)
- AR clothing (cal/cm² rated)
- Arc-rated face shield
- AR gloves with leather protectors
- Safety glasses with side shields
- AR hard hat
Work Practices
- Approach boundaries
- Qualified worker verification
- Energized work permit
- Second person present
Quick Templates
| Template | Hazards | Controls |
