Authorized - determined by management, qualified, given permission and support to perform and / or direct specific tasks or functions. Competent - see “qualified.” Electrical event - an unusual occurrence that did not, but had the potential to, lead to an electrical incident. Electrical incident - one of the following types of incidents: Any incident having an error or failure in electrical systems as a contributing cause. An incident that involves, or has the potential to cause, an electrical injury as defined in this standard, or other injury that may result from direct exposure to electrical energy (e.g., a fall injury that might result from reaction to electric shock). ( C)DEFINITIONS 11 of 105
Electrical injury - an injury that results from electrical, thermal, acoustic, or radiation energy released at the moment of an electrical incident. Lethal shock hazard - any voltage greater than 50 V to any reference point. Limited approach boundary - an approach limit at a distance from an exposed live part, within which a shock hazard exists. This term is used to identify a particular distance within which special considerations are necessary to protect the worker. Practice - an accepted and recognized work method that is aligned with applicable national regulations and standards and is also aligned with corporate policies, standards, and guidelines. DEFINITIONS - contd … 12 of 105
Procedure - a documented method or process of carrying out a work activity that is aligned with applicable national regulations and standards and is also aligned with corporate policies, standards, and guidelines. Prohibited approach boundary - an approach limit at a distance from an exposed live part, within which work is considered the same as making contact with the live part. Qualified - having validated skills, knowledge, ability, training, and experience to perform the job safely and to recognize personal limitations in these areas.
