1 Purpose Employee Burned by Electrical Arc-flash To share lessons learned gained from incident investigations through a small group discussion method format. To understand lessons learned through a Systems of Safety viewpoint. This material was produced by the Labor Institute and the United Steelworkers International Union under grant number 46DO-HT11 Susan f Training Grant Program, for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. It does not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the U.S. Department of Labor, nor does mention of trade names, commercial product or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.

2 Employee Burned by Electrical Arc-flash Background Information Before beginning this, please review this and the next page which contain information that will introduce the concepts of and Systems of Safety. Creating a safe and healthy workplace requires a never ending search for hazards that sometimes are not obvious to us. These hazards exist in every workplace and can be found by using various methods. are just as the name suggests: learning from incidents to prevent the same or similar incidents from happening again. Systems Are Not Created Equal: Not equal in protection and not equal in prevention. Using our Systems Focus to uncover system flaws or root causes is only one part of controlling hazards. We also need to look at the systems involved to decide on the best way to deal with the problem. The most effective way to control a hazard is close to its source. The least effective is usually at the level of the person being exposed. The system of safety in which the flaw is identified is not necessarily the system in which you would attempt to correct the flaw. 2

Also, in the workplace many subsystems are interrelated. It may not always be clear that an issue belongs to one subsystem rather than another. ** The Codes, Standards and Policies and Management of Change subsystems listed here are related to Design and Engineering. These subsystems may also be relevant to other systems; for example, Mitigation Devices. When these subsystems relate to systems other than Design and Engineering, they should be considered as part of those other systems, not Design and Engineering. Revised October
4 Employee Burned by Electrical Arc-flash Title: Employee Burned by Electrical Arc-flash Volume 07, Issue 87 Date Issued: December 6, 2007 Statement The worker involved in the incident was placed in a hazardous position due to failures in the Design and Engineering and Training and Procedures Systems of Safety. Though during the investigation it was determined that the worker was not wearing the appropriate PPE required to perform the work, the lack of a mechanism to ensure that he was qualified and the failure to ensure that all contractors were familiar with Standing Instructions contributed to the worker s unawareness for the required PPE (Training and Procedures). The presence of a less than rigorous work permit program (Training and Procedures) also had a serious impact on the worker s actions. Finally, the absence of a uniform refinery wide lockout/tagout program located under Design and Engineering Systems of Safety was a major factor in the incident. 4
5 Employee Burned by Electrical Arc flash Discussion A contract worker was installing new relays inside of a control panel for an air filter heater. The contractor did not have a work permit to perform the work and the control panel was energized at the time of the incident. The contractor was not qualified to perform work on energized equipment and there was no program in place to ensure his qualifications. While mounting one of the relays in the control panel, wires that were hanging from the new relay shorted on a 480v fuse holder. The worker suffered second degree burns to his left hand from the resulting arc-flash. When the incident occurred, the worker was not trained in the Standing Instructions that required him to wear 1000v rated gloves and a flash-rated face shield in addition to the flame retardant clothing (FRC) the worker was already wearing. 5
6 Employee Burned by Electrical Arc-flash Analysis The Logic Tree is a pictorial representation of a logical process that maps an incident from its occurrence, the event, to facts of the incident and the incident s root causes. Event Worker s left hand burned Hand was exposed to an electrical arc-flash Work was performed in an energized control panel Hand was not protected from the hazard Electrical arcflash occurred No lockout/tagout performed Contractor not wearing proper PPE (Root Cause) Wiring from new relay contacted energized fuse block causing a short circuit Contractor not aware that panel needed to be de-energized No work permit issued (Root Cause) SOS Failure Training and Procedures (Permit Program) Worker not qualified to perform energized work (Root Cause) SOS Failure Training and Procedures (Training Contractor) No uniform refinery-wide lockout/tagout program (Root Cause) SOS Failure Design and Engineering (Codes, Standards and Policies) SOS Failure Training and Procedures (Training Contractor) Installing new relay in an energized control panel Equipment not de-energized prior to performing work (Root Cause) SOS Failure Training and Procedures (Training Contractor) Equipment was overloaded to the point of failure 100 A feeder breaker failed to clear arc-flash (Root Cause) SOS Failure Mitigation Devices (Equipment Failure) 6
7 Employee Burned by Electrical Arc flash Recommended Actions 1. Ensure all contractors working on and around energized electrical equipment are trained and qualified to OSHA standards to perform energized work. 2. Ensure all contractors working on or around energized electrical equipment review Standing Instructions on electrical switch houses. 3. Replace the 100 amp breaker feeding the air heater control box. 4. Ensure work permits are used for all work in the refinery. 5. Design a lockout/tagout program for all facility locations in the refinery. 7
8 Employee Burned by Electrical Arc-flash Education Exercise Working in your groups and using the Statement, Discussion, Analysis and Recommended Actions, answer the two questions below. Your facilitator will give each group an opportunity to share answers with the large group. 1. Give examples of ways to apply the Statement at your workplace. 2. Of the examples you generated from Question 1, which will you pursue in your workplace? (Note: When we say something you may pursue, we mean a joint labor-management activity or a union activity rather than an activity carried out by you as an individual.) 8
9 Employee Burned by Electrical Arc flash Trainer s Success Inventory Following a (LL) session, the trainer who led the LL should complete this form. This information will: 1) Help you reflect on the successes and challenges of the session; 2) Help USW with new curriculum development; and 3) Help USW as a whole better understand how the LL Program is supporting their workers. By reviewing LL from different sites or from other areas of their workplaces, workers are able to analyze the information and apply these lessons to their own workplaces in order to make their workplaces healthier and safer. 1. Site name (if there are participants from more than one site, please list all). 2. Date of LL training 3. LL number used in today s Training 4. Your name 5. Summary of Education Question 1: Please summarize participants examples of ways to apply this LL Statement to their workplace. Please continue on reverse side. 9
