Electricity and electrical hazards and controls to enable them to develop

DOE-STD-1160-2003

e. Address the following confined space hazard considerations for industrial operations:

Describe the characteristics of a confined space hazard

Identify potential construction-related confined space locations

Identify and discuss the application of confined space entry procedures.

Describe industrial-related electrical considerations (e.g., temporary wiring, grounding,

and exposed electrical wires, equipment, or parts).

g. Define the following hazards and appropriate controls use associated with hoisting and

rigging equipment and operations:

Crane load tests and inspection requirements

Effects of boom angle and length on load limits

Major signs of stress, strain, or other deterioration that must be evaluated when

inspecting rigging equipment

Overhead power lines

Appropriate lifting techniques and limitations including the relationship between the

crane operator and the guide

Potential hazards associated with the use of suspect counterfeit parts.

h. Identify sources of potential fall hazards and recommend appropriate controls.

Identify general personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements and effects of PPE

on safety and worker performance for industrial operations.

Describe and have a working knowledge of the Hazardous Waste Operations and

Emergency Response Regulations (HAZWOPER) activities at a waste site.

k. Outline the elements of an effective decontamination and decommissioning program,

including HAZWOPER activities.

Discuss elements of hazard communications within industrial operation involving special

programs (e.g., nonsmoking work environment program, vehicle safety, violence in the

workplace, asbestos, silica, lead, beryllium, blood-borne pathogens, and infectious

diseases).

m. Describe non-ionizing radiation hazards and appropriate control measures.

Occupational safety personnel shall demonstrate an expert-level knowledge of

electricity and electrical hazards and controls to enable them to develop, implement,

and evaluate an electrical safety program.
