CSA Z462 Is Here!!

Canadian electrical workers are exposed to many daily hazards in the course of their work. Even so, until now there have been very few Canadian (i.e. Federal or Provincial) guidelines, Standards or Acts published to assist employers and employees to more effectively manage the electrical safety hazards or even to determine who is qualified to perform electrical work.

For this reason, CSA has launched CSA Z462 - "Electrical Safety in the Workplace", the long-awaited Canadian National voluntary Standard on electrical safety work practices for certain sectors.

We offer an in-depth review of Canada's new Arc Flash/Electrical Safety Standard with a series of one-day cross-Canada CSA Z462 arc flash awareness courses.

CSA Z462 sets a new standard for Electrical Safety Training in Canada. It states that electrical workers "shall be trained in safety-related work practices and procedural requirements as necessary to provide protection from the electrical hazards associated with their respective jobs or task assignments. Workers shall be trained to identify and understand the relationship between electrical hazards and possible injury."

What's New In CSA Z462??

CSA Z462 has many additional features that are instructive and helpful to Canadian electrical workers and their companies who are responsible and liable for their health and safety.

There is more detailed information on:

• Lockout Procedures
• Detailed annexes (for information only) covering such things as hazard risk evaluation which provides an assessment of hazards and work practices in order to better understand and evaluate direct contact and arc flash/blast hazards
• Wearing of protective clothing
• Electrical Hazard labels and Arc Flash Shock labeling
• Details of simplified Category 2 clothing, PPE systems
• New Annex – Documents in CSA Z462 the importance of using recognized Occupational Heath and Safety Management Standards

• It is user friendly - user compatible with expanded information on how to determine Hazard Risk categories based on defined work practices and arc flash hazard levels
• It compliments CSA Z460, Canada's standard for Lockout and Hazardous Energy Control, and has a new annex on Lockout and concepts surrounding a comprehensive Lockout and Hazardous Energy Control program
• Additional definitions covering workplace electrical safety with many revisions to existing definitions
• Important information on the layering of PPE clothing
