All electrical parts exceeding 50 volts will be de-energized before an employee
works on or near equipment unless:
- The de-energizing creates a more hazardous situation
- The equipment, by design, cannot be shut down
- The decision to work without de-energizing shall be made by management and documented
before work begins
When any employee is exposed to direct or indirect contact with parts of fixed
electrical equipment or circuits which have been de-energized, the electrical
energy source will be locked out.
