DOE-HDBK-1092-98
same job performed repeatedly may be given through the use of an approved procedure or job
safety analysis.
3. Personnel shall not work on energized circuits unless they are qualified to do so, or, for training
purposes, unless they work under the direct supervision of a qualified person.
4. Sufficient protection in the form of insulated tools and insulated protective equipment, such
as gloves, blankets, sleeves, mats, etc., shall be used while working on energized circuits.
Note: The discussion in #4 above assumes the system voltage is less than the maximum use
voltage of the ASTM class of rubber goods used.
5. Other work, independent of voltage, that presents a significant shock or arc blast hazard to
employees, needs to be evaluated as to the number of employees involved.
6. At least two employees [See 29CFR 1910.269(l)(1)(i)] shall be present while the following
types of work are being performed:
(A) Installation, removal, or repair of lines that are energized at more than 600 volts.
(B) Installation, removal, or repair of deenergized lines if an employee is exposed to contact
with other parts energized at more than 600 volts,
(C) Installation, removal, or repair of equipment, such as transformers, capacitors, and
regulators, if an employee is exposed to contact with parts energized at more than 600
volts.
(D) Work involving the use of mechanical equipment, other than insulated aerial lifts, near
parts energized at more than 600 volts, and
(E) Other work that exposes an employee to electrical hazards greater than or equal to those
listed above.
Exceptions to the items listed above are:
(A) Routine switching of circuits, if the employer can demonstrate that conditions at the site
allow this work to be performed safely,
(B) Work performed with live-line tools if the employee is positioned so that he or she is
neither within reach of nor otherwise exposed to contact with energized parts, and
(C) Emergency repairs to the extent necessary to safeguard the general public.
7. Taking voltage measurements may subject personnel to exposed energized parts. (See
Appendix C.) Where it is determined personnel are subject to contacting exposed energized
parts, personnel shall use the appropriate protective equipment for the voltage levels involved.
