Are You Ready For CSA Z462??
CSA Z462 is Canada's Arc Flash Standard, scheduled for official release in December 2008. We offer an advanced look at Canada's new Arc Flash/Electrical Safety Standard with a series of two-day cross-Canada CSA-Z462 technical courses this September, based the final Draft Version of CSA Z462.
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"
