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.
CSA Z462 specifies requirements for and provides guidance on safety management systems and safe work procedures for persons working on electrical equipment and electrical systems. It also provides direction on the selection of personal protective equipment and other safety devices for electrical workers and maintenance personnel. In addition, this Standard sets out criteria for the identification and training of qualified electrical workers and for determination of hazardous work to be performed only by those qualified individuals.
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 job or task assignments. Workers shall be
trained to identify and understand the relationship between electrical hazards and possible injury."
Compliance with CSA 462 will not only help to prevent injury to a company's electrical workers, it will also protect them from potential legal action in the event of an accident investigation. Any investment in electrical safety is a bargain when compared to the cost of a legal defense in provincial court. In addition, if an electrical accident is serious enough to warrant criminal charges, a company may find itself in Canadian Federal court, charged under Bill C51 where it will need to prove it did everything possible to ensure the safety of its workers. The objective of compliance through training and integrating CSA Z462 is to exercise "due diligence"
What Will Our Two-Day Arc Flash/Electrical Safety Course Cover?
Our Two-Day Arc Flash course goes in much greater detail than our basic CSA Z462 awareness course. Our two-day program teaches students about how arc flash is related to other electrical issues and the many mitigation techniques now available to help companies avoid arc flash accidents, personal injury and also equipment failure. Our in-depth two-day course on CSA Z462 will go one step beyond explaining the basics of Canada's new Arc Flash/Electrical Safety standard, it will show electrical safety professionals how to implement the standard into their electrical safety programs.
This information will impact on Labelling, Arc Flash Studies, PPE Program Development, and contain a special section on how CSA Z462 impacts on Provincial electrical safety regulations.
