This list of assignments and method of delivery is subject to change at the discretion of the instructor. ATTENDANCE
Class attendance is a vital component of learning. The classroom is where new concepts are introduced and questions answered. Nothing can substitute for the interaction that takes place in the classroom setting. Not attending class has been linked to a disappointing final grade. Please make every effort to: (a) be on time, (b) attend each class, and (c) actively participate in discussions and activities. A sign-in sheet will be used to track class attendance. Each student is responsible for ensuring they have signed the attendance sheet. PROFESSIONALISM (50 points) Professionalism points are tied to class attendance. Class meetings present 30 opportunities for the student to earn professionalism points. The student will earn 2 points for being in the classroom prior to the start of class and 1 point for arriving late.
Please notify me, in advance, if you will not be able to attend class. I understand that emergencies are sometimes unavoidable and will work with you on class related items during periods of personal crisis.
FINAL GRADE CALCULATION The student’s final grade is based on an accumulation of points. The point totals required to earn a particular grade are based on the following grading scale: Breakdown of Possible Points Grading Scale Professionalism 50 A 378-420 Problems 50 B 336-377 Terms 50 C 294-335 Discussion Forums 70 D 252-293 Exams 50 F ≤ 251 Notebook 25 Written Procedure 25 Final Exam 100 Total Possible Points 420

Safe Work Practices
NFPA 70E 130.6
“Test Before Touch”
• Consider all circuits energized until tested.
• Test every circuit, every conductor, every time before you touch!
• PPE required until text completed. • Test instrument must be verified. • Knowledge of equipment is
essential. • Test circuit again if job continuity
is broken. • Testing must be done at each
location where conductors are going to be touched.
Alertness
• Employees shall be instructed to be alert at all times when working in situations where electrical hazards might exist.
• Employees shall be instructed to be alert for changes in the job or task that may expose the person to additional hazards that were not part of the original plan.
11/9/2016
2
Alertness
• Employees shall not be permitted near electrical hazards while alertness is recognizably impaired due to illness, fatigue, or other reasons.
• How would handle an employee who appears to have impaired alertness?
Blind Reaching
• No instance exists where it is necessary for an employee to reach into electrical equipment without having a direct line of sight.
• Should blind reaching only apply to electrical work?
Illumination
• Employees shall not enter spaces where electrical hazards exist without adequate lighting is provided to safety perform the work.
• Some employees may like to wear eyeglasses with tinted lenses and some face shields may be tinted. These could increase the chance of inadvertently contacting unintended energized points.
• What could we do to prevent this?
11/9/2016
3
Conductive Articles on the Person
• Conductive articles or jewelry and clothing (watchbands, bracelets, rings, key changes, metal frame glasses, etc) shall not be work in the restricted approach boundary or where they present an electrical contact hazard.
• Why might metal framed glasses be a problem?
Conductive Tools and Equipment
• A conductive tool in the employee’s hand can be thought of simply as an extension of the hand.
• Wrapping tools with electrical tape is not sufficient to ensure protection against electrical shock.
• ASTM F 1505 – standard on insulated hand tools.
• What type policy would you adopt to protect the worker using tools near electrical hazards?
Confined or Enclosed Work Spaces
• Employer shall provide, and employee shall use, protective shields, protective barriers, or insulating materials to avoid inadvertent contact with electrical hazards.
• What could be a concern when using these “temporary” barriers?
11/9/2016
4
Doors and Hinged Panels
• Doors, hinged panels, and the like shall be secured to prevent their swinging into an employee causing the employee to contact exposed energized electrical conductors.
Clear Spaces
• Working space shall be kept clear to permit safe operation and maintenance of electrical equipment
Housekeeping Duties
• Employees shall not perform housekeeping duties inside the limited approach boundary where there is a possibility of contact with energized electrical conductors or circuit parts.
• How could you prevent those performing housekeeping duties from being exposed to these electrical hazards?
11/9/2016
5
Occasional Use of Flammable Materials
• Ensure that measures have been taken to prevent an electric ignition source from being introduced into an explosive environment.
• National Electric Code (NFPA 70) – Class I
• Flammable and combustible gases, vapors are or may be present under normal operations
– Class II • Combustible dusts are present
– Class III • Ignitable fibers and flyings are present
Anticipating Failure
• Some electrical equipment may present evidence of impending failure.
• What might be an example of this?
• Until the equipment is de-energized or repaired, employees shall be protected from hazards associated with impending failure through the use of barricades and other alerting equipment.
Reclosing Circuits After Protective Device Operation
• After a circuit is de-energized by an automatic operation of a circuit protection device, the circuit shall not be manually reenergized until it has been determined that the equipment and circuit can be safely energized.
• Why conditions might cause an protective device to operate?
11/9/2016
6
Body Position
• Before beginning the work, it is a good practice for a person to take a few minutes to think about how the body will be positioned while executing the work, and how he/she can decrease their hazard exposure.
• What would be an example of this practice?
Questions?
