Arc flash personal protective equipment - applying risk management principles

Daniel Roberts

Arc flash personal protective equipment is generally selected based on one of two methods: an incident energy analysis method or a hazard/risk category method. Neither method adequately addresses the deployment of arc flash personal protective equipment using risk management principles and processes. The incident energy analysis method determines an arc flash thermal energy level for which arc flash personal protective equipment of suitable arc rating can be selected. This method does not identify when the protective equipment should be deployed. The hazard/risk category method establishes a set selection of arc flash personal protective equipment described as " generally based on a determination of estimated exposure levels." This method subsequently eliminates items of personal protective equipment or reduces the arc rating of the personal protective equipment using activity-based risk-reduction factors. The objective of this paper is to identify and apply risk management principles and methodology found in current standards to assist with the selection of arc flash personal protective equipment and to determine when deployment of the arc flash protective equipment is warranted. The paper will suggest an alternate method to the hazard/risk category method that meets the following criteria: · Retains the simplicity of the hazard/risk category approach · Assesses hazard and risk separately · Is more aligned with current engineering and health and safety principles and practices.

Risk Management of Electrical Hazards: Bridging the Gap in Understanding Hazard Versus Risk

IEEE Industry Applications Magazine (2013)

Daniel Roberts

Most occupational health and safety (OHS) professionals understand the difference between hazard and risk. However, the distinction between these terms is not well understood in the electrical industry, where they are often used interchangeably. This gap in understanding between OHS and electrical professionals needs to be bridged to ensure that electrical hazards, and the risks arising from those hazards, are effectively addressed. The objective of this article is to clarify the difference between hazard and risk and explain how OHS risk management principles can be applied to electrical hazards.

Risk assessment and your electrical safety program

Daniel Roberts

The 2015 editions of NFPA 70E and CSA Z462 have taken a significant step forward by integrating Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems and Risk Management principles. This paper will explore how this changes and advances the electrical safety culture and enables sustainable improvement in prevention of electrical incidents and injuries. The paper will also discuss how these changes can be integrated into an organizations electrical safety program and how risk assessment can be performed at an organizational level and at a worker level.

Applying risk assessment at the worker level

Daniel Roberts

Risk management, risk assessment and the hierarchy of risk control are slowly gaining acceptance in the electrical community as an effective and sustainable approach to improve workplace electrical safety. What is risk management, risk assessment and the hierarchy of risk control? How can they be applied in a practical way to electrical safety in the petrochemical industry?

Integrating OHSMS, risk management & electrical safety

Daniel Roberts

Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSMS) Standards such as ANSI Z10 provide a framework for an employer to manage and continuously improve occupational health and safety performance. The risk management principles of ISO Standard 310002009 adhere to the iterative approach of, and are foundational to, OHSMS Standards. They provide a systematic methodology to identify hazards, analyze and evaluate risk and apply risk control methods. This paper discusses the integration of OHSMS and risk management principles into electrical safety.
