15 Electrical Maintenance & Safety NFPA 70B, 70E, IEEE

16

17 NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace Electrical Arc, Flash, and Blast Safe work practices Energized Electrical Work Permit Minimum PPE Requirements Make systems electrically safe prior to work Mechanical controls (IR Windows)

18 Article Multiemployer Relationship States: On multiemployer worksites (in all industry sectors), more than one employer may be responsible for hazardous conditions that violate safe work practices.

19 Reasons for Electrical Predictive and Preventive Maintenance

20 Safety To minimize unsafe conditions Avoid personnel injuries Reliability Centered Maintenance is directed by safety first, then economics. When determined that safety is not a factor, then preventive maintenance is justified on economic grounds. IEEE Section 5.5

21 Economics To avoid future and more costly equipment failures. To avoid premature equipment failures. To avoid interruption of services to production and processes.

22 Legal & Contracts Avoid legal consequences and/or to meet legislated mandates (Codes & Standards) To comply with insurance company requirements.

23 Go Green Avoid environmental damage Accomplish equipment life cycle extension.
