ESC members as well as non-Electrical Safety Committee members. The electrical chair

appoints subcommittee chairs, who are not required to be members of the ESC. All

subcommittee reports and recommendations are approved by a majority of the ESC.

3.4 MAINTENANCE MANAGERS

Maintenance managers implement the Electrical Safety Program by developing an electrical

preventative maintenance program and providing qualified electricians. They also ensure that

managers, first line supervisors, and a staff of crafts workers and their assistants complete all

applicable courses of electrical safety training. Maintenance managers also ensure that all

facilities are maintained in compliance with NEC (NFPA 70) and the NESC (ANSI-C2).

3.5 FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT

Operations managers are responsible for implementing the Electrical Safety Program by

providing safe work procedures and permits for high and low voltage work as required. They

also provide and implement other critical procedures such as lockout/tagout, testing, and safety-

related work practices as required by 29 CFR 1910.331-335. These managers ensure that

crafts workers of all disciplines and their immediate supervisors working with, or in proximity to,

electrical equipment receive

electrical safety awareness training;

general and job-specific training in safe electrical work practices as required in 29 CFR

1910, Subpart S; and
