A new eTool has been posted on OSHA’s Web site called Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution. The audience for this eTool is employers and qualified workers in workplaces associated with the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power.
On June 15, 2005, OSHA published a proposed rule to revise the general industry and construction standards for electric power generation, transmission, and distribution work and for electrical protective equipment. The proposed general industry and construction standards for electric power generation, transmission, and distribution work included revised minimum approach distance tables which limit how close an employee (or a conductive object he or she is contacting) may get to an energized circuit part.
The Cal/OSHA Standards Board will hear comments on the following proposal on December 18, 2008 in Sacramento, California.
HIGH-VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL SAFETY ORDERS (Sections 2700 thru 2974 and new Sections 2985, 2987 & 2989)
