This standard applies to all electrical cord sets & receptacles not part of electrical

All such equipment must comply with either the assured equipment grounding
program or the GFCI requirement as specified.

1. Only qualified electrician may set up modify, inspect and repair electrical
circuits. All electricians must keep a copy of their qualification of their person. All
inspection and repair details are to be recorded and made available to RC upon
request.

2. A lock-out/tag-out and permit to work system must be in place when changes


are being made to electrical circuits and electrical wiring is not terminated (this
include the permanent electrical wiring system of an existing building). The permit
and lock-out/tag-out system shall ensure that no circuit being worked upon can
be accidentally or intentionally energized.

3. All electrical panels must be physically “locked- out”. The issuance keys to
“locked-out” electrical panel must be controlled to minimized the risk of an
accidental electrocution.

4. Locked-out/tag-out will be issued, controlled and closed by the senior

7. Unqualified, unauthorized persons shall not open any electrical enclosure or


apparatus, nor shall they energize circuits without authority to do so.

8. Once the building or structure is energized, no exposed wires are permitted on


‘live’ circuits. All electrical wire circuit ends must have their ‘end use’ fitting
applied (i.e. wall socket cover, light switches) and be screwed securely in place.

9. Employees will visually inspect receptacles (sockets), extension cables, cords


and equipment connected by cord and plug before each day’s use in order to
determine if there are external defects. Where there is evidence of damage, the
damaged item is to be taken out of service immediately, tagged with a defective
tool tag and sent for repair.

10. No electrical tools must be used without a plug, and without extension cables
may be used with damaged outlets or missing covers. All extension cables are to
be fit-for-purpose and have insulating covering.
