Electrical Safety

Troubleshooting, SCADA and Energized Work

Jeff MacKinnon, P.Eng. · Jan 30, 2020 ·

This is a great followup and use case for a home energy monitoring system, something I wrote about on the blog last week. My new ETS was broken, but how? The electric thermal storage (ETS) unit mentioned in that post stopped doing what its supposed to. When we had it installed I didn’t tie it into […]

Get out of the way when operating switches

Jeff MacKinnon, P.Eng. · Jan 24, 2020 ·

When I am developing an Arc Flash Analysis report there are a few recommendations that always survive. They are near the top of the hierarchy of controls, and are set it and forget it type of controls. One of these is remote actuators and racking mechanisms. Both of these systems removes the electrical worker outside […]

Energized Work Permits

Jeff MacKinnon, P.Eng. · Jan 17, 2020 ·

Let’s talk about energized work permits. I’ve seen some extremely long and detailed forms outlining what needs to be in the energized work permit that were up to 6 pages. To make things worse, they duplicate a lot of the information that would be in the work order (WO) and job specific risk analysis for […]

Daily Musing – October 22, 2019

Jeff MacKinnon, P.Eng. · Oct 22, 2019 ·

Today’s video is on electrical safety awareness and what I think of as the “told you so” mentality that exists after there is a fatality.

Electrical Safety Program Requirements in Canada

Jeff MacKinnon, P.Eng. · May 9, 2019 ·

Something that I have been thinking about lately is: What are the electrical safety program requirements in Canada. OSHA covers all of the USA, and the minimum Electrical Safety Program requirements can be found here – 1910 Subpart S. In Canada, the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, part VIII mentions written procedures a couple […]

Checklists

Jeff MacKinnon, P.Eng. · Feb 15, 2019 ·

Today I’m starting a new-ish feature where I’m publishing a different thought as a twitter audio at least, and maybe a video depending on where I’m located. This first thought is on checklists, and their importance in every electrical safety program. This came to me, again, when I was meeting with a client and they […]

Arc Flash Mitigation techniques – Administrative

Cole Ferguson · Jul 29, 2016 ·

The second to last line of defence with arc flash mitigation, according to the Hierarchy of Hazard Mitigation, is administrative controls. Administrative controls are implemented after a facility is designed and built, and equipment has been purchased and installed. What the administrative controls really boil down to is your electrical safety program. I’ll break down what that […]

Electrical Safety

Electrical safety is a nebulous thing, but we define it as the set of systems designed to lower the risks associated with the electrical hazards of shock, arc flash and arc blast, to an acceptable level. In our day-to-day life this is handled for us
