21 Page 21 of Planning Work That has the Potential to be Within 20 feet of Overhead Lines This section applies to activities conducted in the vicinity of but not on overhead electrical conductors. It does not apply to qualified workers working on or near the overhead line distribution system Work shall be considered to have the potential to come within the LAB if the area 360 degrees around the equipment, up to the equipment s maximum working radius, intersect the LAB or the No Work Zone Overhead lines shall be de-energized when work is planned to be performed in the LAB or when the work activity/equipment has the potential to enter the LAB unless it is determined after a documented evaluation, considering probability, consequence, and risk for each phase/activity of the work scope, that deenergizing is infeasible or creates a greater hazard If de-energizing overhead lines is infeasible, the responsible manager shall provide documented justification for performing the work energized considering probability, consequence, and risk for each phase/activity of the work scope Work that has the potential to come within the LAB of overhead lines shall implement the following controls: [1] The affected or involved organizations shall be involved in planning work. [2] The work location and all paths of travel shall be walked down to identify potential electrical hazards In the event that the LAB cannot be maintained, then there shall be special planning to establish control measures for the protection of personnel If energized overhead lines are to be de-energized, arrangements shall be made with the person or organization that operates or controls the overhead lines to deenergize them and implement appropriate hazardous energy control measures. Where overhead lines are uninsulated, or the insulation integrity has been determined inadequate, they shall be grounded within visual range of the point of work. If arrangements are made to use protective measures, such as guarding, isolating, or insulating, these precautions shall prevent each employee from contacting such overhead lines directly with any part of his or her body, or indirectly through conductive materials, tools, or equipment (NFPA 70E, [A]) If work will be performed within the LAB of energized overhead lines under the exclusive control of Power Operations, it is the responsibility of the organization performing the work to contact Power Operations to: [1] De-energize and tag the overhead lines.

22 Page 22 of 33 [2] Over lock the utility s hold off tag (or equivalent) in accordance with FBP-OS-PRO-00068, Instructions for Lockout/Tagout Performing Work Within 20 feet of Overhead Lines Equipment in Transit [1] In this section the term transit refers to equipment (e.g., fork trucks, excavators, aerial lifts, back hoes) that is moving under its own power or being transported by trailer, without load and the structure lowered to its lowest practical stowed position prior to movement. Any equipment not in this configuration is considered to be performing work. Controls shall be implemented to ensure the equipment is configured in the lowest practical stowed position prior to movement. [2] A truck (e.g., dump, garbage, etc.) is considered in transit when moving under its own power with the structure lowered to its lowest stowed position. If the truck is carrying a load, the combined height of the equipment and load shall be less than 14 feet. When loading and unloading trucks an audible alarm or a spotter shall be used to verify that the bed is fully lowered prior to movement. [3] If the vehicle is in transit with its structure lowered to its lowest practical stowed position, the minimum clearance distances to energized overhead lines while traveling with no load may be found in Table T of 29 CFR If insulated barriers, rated for the voltages involved, are installed and they are not part of an attachment to the vehicle, the clearance shall be permitted to be reduced to the design working dimensions of the insulating barrier. This section is applicable to all outdoor work involving track hoes, forklift trucks, excavators, dump trucks, elevating work platforms, and all other mobile equipment; this excludes cranes Mobile Equipment Operations Near Energized Overhead Lines [1] Working near Communication Lines Where any mobile equipment structure will be elevated near communication lines, they shall be operated to avoid contact.

23 Page 23 of 33 [2] Overhead Lines De-Energized and Grounded This is the preferred condition under which mobile equipment operation should be performed because the hazard of injury or death due to electrocution has been removed. The following steps shall be taken to ensure overhead lines are de-energized: Power Operations, or the owner of the overhead lines, shall de-energize the lines. The necessity for grounding shall be determined by Power Operations or the owner of the overhead line. The owner of the overhead lines or a designated representative of Power Operations shall be on the site to verify that Step and Step have been completed and that the overhead lines are no longer energized. Where any mobile equipment structure will be elevated near energized overhead lines, they shall be operated so that the LAB distance is maintained. Contractors are required to utilize the mandatory barrier control below and at least one of the listed secondary barrier controls Mobile Equipment Working Outside the LAB of Energized Overhead Lines With the Potential to Enter the LAB [1] Mandatory Barrier Control Trained Operators and Spotters shall be used and shall meet the following requirements: The spotter shall be in place prior to movement of the equipment and be positioned to effectively gauge the clearance distance. Operators of equipment and spotters who work near energized overhead lines shall be trained to visually determine when equipment is nearing the LAB for overhead lines and to establish and maintain effective communications between the operator and spotter. The spotter shall have no duties other than being a spotter for a single specific operation. Spotters shall have direct communication with the equipment operator. The method of communication must take into account potentially high noise levels common with heavy equipment operation. Spotters shall be easily identifiable by the equipment operators.

24 Page 24 of 33 [2] Secondary Barrier Control As a minimum, one of the following secondary barrier controls shall be used in addition to a trained spotter: Install physical barriers to prevent encroachment into the LAB. Use stakes/cones or painted lines to provide constant reminders to operators and spotters of the proximity to energized overhead lines. Use materials to enhance visibility of energized overhead lines for spotters. Have Power Operations personnel measure line height. Signs shall be posted to indicate overhead line height to warn of energized overhead lines and enable the spotter to accurately determine the clearance distance. Have Power Operations personnel raise or relocate energized overhead lines to reduce the possibility of an inadvertent contact. Other control(s) may be permitted following review and approval by the electrical AHJ. This review shall verify that the alternate controls are as effective as the controls listed above Mobile Equipment Working Inside the LAB of Energized Overhead Lines [1] If de-energizing overhead lines is infeasible, the responsible manager shall provide documented justification for performing the work energized, considering probability, consequence, and risk for each phase/activity of the work scope. [2] In addition to the primary and secondary barrier controls listed in Sections , Mobile Equipment Working Outside the LAB, a Power Operations representative shall be on site Crane Assembly and Disassembly near Overhead Lines Assembly or disassembly near overhead lines is considered to be an operating crane, see Section , Mobile Equipment Operations Near Energized Overhead Lines.

25 Page 25 of 33 This section addresses performing core drilling, saw cutting, excavations, and other blind penetrations into surfaces containing concealed electrical conduits and cables Core Drilling, Excavations, and Blind Penetrations Excavations shall be performed per the requirements of FBP-OS-PRO-00022, Excavation/Penetration If the presence and location of electrical circuits or conductors cannot be accurately identified and completely de-energized, appropriate mitigating controls shall be used. At a minimum: 5.12 Generators [1] All applicable drawings and documentation shall be reviewed. The job site shall be inspected to the maximum extent possible to determine if obstructions are present before starting the job. [2] A scan shall be performed if penetrating deeper than 1 ½ inches into concrete or masonry surfaces. [3] Circuits or conductors shall be de-energized to the maximum extent possible and placed in an electrically safe work condition. [4] A JHA and a penetration permit shall be completed for work requiring penetrations deeper than 1 ½ inches into or through walls, floors, or other surfaces that may contain concealed electrical systems.

Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) Appointed by the Program Manager to be the ultimate authority on electrical issues at PORTS. Individual will have extensive experience in application of the NEC and the NFPA 70E. B. Approach Boundaries to Live Parts: Flash Protection Boundary An approach limit at a distance from exposed live parts within which a person could receive a second degree burn if an electrical arc flash were to occur. Limited Approach Boundary (LAB) An approach limit at a distance from an exposed live part within a shock hazard exists; the minimum approach distance to exposed live parts within which PPE is not required for shock hazards. To enter this boundary, a person must be qualified or escorted by a qualified person.

30 Page 30 of 33 Restricted Approach Boundary An approach limit at a distance from an exposed live part within which there is an increased risk of shock, due to electrical arc over combined with inadvertent movement, for personnel working in close proximity to the live part; the minimum approach distance (for shock hazards) to exposed live parts for qualified persons with PPE; the equivalent of working near for qualified persons. Unqualified persons may not enter this boundary. Prohibited Approach Boundary An approach limit at a distance from an exposed live part within which work is considered the same as making contact with the live part; the equivalent to working on exposed live parts for a qualified person with PPE. Arc Rated The value attributed to materials that describe their performance to exposure to an electrical arc discharge. The arc rating is expressed in cal/cm2 and is derived from the determined value of the Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) or Energy of Breakopen Threshold (EBT). Arc rating is reported as either ATPV or EBT, whichever is the lower value. Barricade A physical obstruction such as boundary tape, cones, sawhorses, fence or similar warning markers intended to limit access to a hazardous area. Barrier A physical obstruction which is intended to prevent contact with exposed, energized circuits, lines or equipment or to prevent unauthorized access to a work area. Balaclava (Sock Hood) Type of PPE that is worn over the head. Provides head neck and face (except for eye and nose) protection. Sock hood is arc-rated for the required task. Confined/Enclosed Work Space A confined or enclosed space (i.e. manhole or vault) that contains exposed energized electrical conductors or circuit parts operating at 50 volts or more, or where an electrical hazard exists, where protective shields, protective barriers or insulating materials shall be used as necessary to avoid inadvertent contact with these parts and the effects of the electrical hazards. Dead Front Without live parts exposed to a person on the operating side of the equipment. De-energized Free from any electrical connection to a source of potential difference and from electrical charge; not having a potential different from that of the earth. Electrical Hazard A dangerous condition such that contactor equipment failure can result in electric shock, arc flash, thermal burn, or blast.
