• Personnel protective equipment (PPE)

• Planned exits free from obstructions from work area to a safe distance from construction site.

ROBINS AFB BASE FACILITY STANDARD 39 of 300

1B-3.2 Work Site Safety

Notify management if there are unsafe conditions. Maintaining acceptable work site safety involves proper behavior, good housekeeping, maintenance of protective measures and avoiding unsafe actions.

1B-3.2.1 Lockout and Tagout Precautions

1B-3.2.1.1 Contractors are required to turn off all circuits before working on them. To make sure that these circuits remain off, place lockout/tagout devices on the upstream overcurrent device/disconnecting means.

1B-3.2.1.2 In the event a normally open switch is closed to provide alternate power to a part of the exterior electrical system or building system, provide a lockout/tagout device

1B-3.2.1.3 Provide a caution tag with any lockout device. This tag shall include the project number, point-of-contact and phone number of the individual who completed the device lockout. Typically this is an electrician will place a lock that only he/she has a key to open.

1B-3.2.2 Stray Electric Voltage Testing

1B-3.2.2.1 Always test for live electrical currents before working on distribution equipment of any type. A device that changes color or gives an audio tone upon detection is sufficient.

1B-3.2.2.2 After placement of the device make sure that voltage is not present on the load side of the device locked out.

1B-3.2.2.3 Before providing temporary grounding of conductors/equipment, test to make sure there is no voltage present.

1B-3.2.2.4 Before entering into a manhole (or reaching into a handhole), make sure that there are no stray voltages present. Mount the testing device on a line tool and move it around close to the cables on all four sides of the manhole/handhole.

1B-3.2.3 Personal Protective Clothing (PPE)

Use the protective clothing and apparatus appropriate for the task at hand, including such items as the following:

• Hard Hats

• Safety Glasses / Goggles

• Hearing Protection

• Steel Toed Shoes

• Leather Gloves

• Hazard Rated Arc Flash Suit

1B-3.2.4 Temporary Protective Grounding

Use temporary grounding to protect workers engaged with de-energized electrical lines maintenance and to protect lines and equipment during maintenance.

ROBINS AFB BASE FACILITY STANDARD 40 of 300

1B-3.2.5 Arc Flash

Arc Flash is a phenomena that occurs in high and low voltage electrical systems; it can occur regardless of the age or condition of the equipment. Determine the level where work is being done and prepare for the expected (and the unexpected), especially near a substations where 20 kA is available or on the load side of 2500 kVA transformers where over 53 kA may be available.

1B-3.3 Medium and Low Voltage Safety

1B-3.3.1 Warning Devices

Locate warning devices such as barriers, warning signs, traffic cones and lights at approaches to clearly define work areas, excavations, open manholes, parked equipment and other hazards. Take special precautions for any areas where reduced visibility occurs, such as night operations or in fog. Immediately remove warning devices after removal of hazards and equipment.

1B-3.3.1.1 Ensure that Government personnel are kept at least 10 feet from any construction inside a building.

1B-3.3.1.2 Keep warning barricades such as cones and tape, five (5) feet from excavation areas and dirt piles. Note that a protective barricade may be placed closer than this since it provides both a warning and physical protection.

1B-3.3.1.3 Protection barricades must have a withstand rating of at least 200 pounds in any direction with minimal deflection.

1B-3.3.1.4 Never enter an excavation deeper than four (4) feet that does not have a safe access-way. A safe access-way is one which has been inspected by a competent person before allowing entrance and does not have equipment working next to the edge.

1B-3.3.1.5 Do not disrupt utility lines that may be present, marked or unmarked. Determine whether the line is in use or abandoned before demolition. If marked, any needed repairs should be assessed; the Contractor shall be responsible to repair damages created as a consequence of the work activity at no additional cost to the Government.

1B-3.3.2 Flagmen

1B-3.3.2.1 Provide flagmen if there is any doubt about whether the warning devices being used provide adequate controls, such as in areas with obstructed view by vehicular traffic or during high traffic hours such as mornings, lunchtime and quitting time.

1B-3.3.2.2 Flagmen must wear brightly colored and highly reflective vests.

ROBINS AFB BASE FACILITY STANDARD 41 of 300

1B-3.3.3 Number of Workers Required

1B-3.3.3.1 Jobs requiring only one electrical worker include the following:

• Work on systems in an electrically safe work condition with nominal voltages of 600 volts or less.

• Routine electrical measurements on energized systems with nominal system voltages of 600 volts or less.

• Routine operation of switchboard and panel breakers if the Contractor can demonstrate that conditions at the site allow this work to be performed safely.

• Routine electrical measurements or switching using gloves and live-line tools if the worker is positioned out of reach or possible contact with energized parts.

1B-3.3.3.2 Jobs requiring two electrical workers include the following:

• All medium voltage work requires two workers minimum, including installation, removal or repair work when working on or near lines or parts energized at 600 volts or more.

• Any work where the covers of equipment are removed.

• Any work within the interior of equipment where live parts may be energized.

1B-3.3.3.3 Jobs requiring three electrical workers include the following:

All activities within confined spaces require at least three workers; including one worker in the confined space; one on the surface providing assistance or operating certain equipment, such as air moving equipment; and one with first-aid and CPR training in the immediate vicinity of the activity. All three people shall have confined space training and each shall have the authority to stop/recall the person in the confined space. If any danger or perceived danger is present, then no worker shall enter the confined space until a plan has been developed.

1B-3.3.4 Pumping a Manhole or Handhole

1B-3.3.4.1 Manholes are considered confined spaces.

1B-3.3.4.2 If manhole/handhole contains water, it shall be pumped out before entering. Water must not be allowed to enter storm drains. Pumping onto the ground adjacent to the manhole is allowable.

1B-3.3.4.3 Before entering any confined space such as a manhole/handhole, test to make sure that the oxygen level is between 19.5% and 23.5%. If the oxygen level is below this level or other types of gas, such as methane, carbon-dioxide, etc. are present, ventilate the hole before entering.

1B-3.3.4.4 Removal of water or removal of duct plug may allow gases (dangerous or non-dangerous) to enter the manhole/handhole and deplete the oxygen level. Once water is removed, retest oxygen level.

1B-3.3.5 Minimum Illumination

• Ensure the working area has adequate illumination.

• Areas above suspended ceilings may be illuminated by handheld or body mounted lighting.

• Provide temporary lighting where natural or installed artificial illumination is not sufficient.
