1.0 General Requirements
Live parts to which an employee might be exposed must be put into a safe work condition
before an employee works on or near them (within the limited approach boundary), unless
work on energized components can be justified.
Note: All other options must be exhausted before working on live equipment.
Conductors and parts of electrical equipment that have been deenergized must be locked
out or tagged out (LOTO). Hazardous Energy Control, before any work may commence.
It is required that ground fault protection for employees for all temporary wiring installations.
All 220 volts, 15-, 20-, and 30-amp receptacle outlets that are not part of the permanent
wiring must have Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s). For receptacles other than
220 volts, 15, 20, and 30 amps, either GFCI’s or an assured grounding program may be
used.
Assured that groundings are in place and preferably use GFCI’s for all circuits on which
portable electrical hand tools are used; this must be included as a requirement in the
contract documents.
GFCI’s must be listed by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and bear the UL mark or the mark of
another government-approved agency. GFCIs should be inserted in the circuit as close to
the electrical source as practical.
Note: If GFCI’s are not available, it is the responsibility of project/site management to
ensure compliance with applicable local legislation and code(s) of practice.
All electrical connections and repairs must be performed in accordance with regulatory
authority’s requirements and by a certified / qualified electrical person.
Faulty equipment or equipment yet to be tested must be tagged as “out of service” until it is
repaired or tested by a qualified electrical person.
2.0 Deenergizing Live Parts

Electrical parts operating at 50 volts or more must be deenergized and locked and tagged
out to the maximum extent feasible before they are maintained or repaired, or if parts are
exposed at or beyond the limited approach boundary.
If deenergized, but not locked and tagged out, parts must be treated as live — except
equipment with a cord and plug that is under the direct control of the employee performing
the work.
Situations/conditions when deenergizing is not required are:
• Increased or additional hazards, such as shutdown of hazardous location
ventilation equipment, removal of illumination for an area, or deactivation of
emergency alarms.
• If the risk is so minimal that deenergizing is a greater hazard.
INC.
Tel. Nos.: (046) 402-1108/1109/1110 Fax Nos.: (046) 402-1106/1185
qc@harada.com.ph
• Infeasibility due to equipment design or operational limitations that include:
 Testing of electric circuits that can only be performed with the circuit
energized.
 Work on the circuits that form an integral part of a continuous process
that would otherwise need to be completely shut down, creating a greater
hazard, in order to permit work on 1 circuit or piece of equipment.
• Energized parts that operate at less than 50 volts need not be deenergized if
there is no increased exposure to electrical burns or to explosion due to
electric arcs.
Stored electrical energy that might endanger employees must be released. Discharge
capacitors with a device approved for this use, and short-circuit and ground high-
capacitance elements if the stored electrical energy might endanger personnel.
Field conditions and planning documents must be verified as “matching.” Resolve
differences before releasing the work. If there are unresolved differences that could result
in an inadvertent reenergization from another source, work may continue provided extra
precautions are taken during the potential exposure; precautions include the following:
• Verify the circuit is deenergized.
• Conduct work using the safeguards required for energized systems for the
remainder of the work.
• Use positive measures including approved grounds on both sides of the work, or
where required, removal of circuit elements.
Note: An Electrical Work Permit (EWP) is not required in cases where no possibility of
reenergization exists.
It is acceptable practice to physically disconnect the energy sources of systems, equipment,
or components to remove hazards (such as lifting cables from circuit breakers in an
energized panel). However, this physical disconnect must be left in a condition that
prevents inadvertent reconnection (such as cutting back the cables in the energized panel),
or physically identify the disconnection (such as tagging the cables left coiled in the
energized panel) and communicate system status to affected workers and the controlling
organization.
Safe condition (zero energy) checks must be performed on any system, equipment, or
component disconnected from its energy source immediately prior to performing work.
Tripped circuit breakers and GFCIs may not be reenergized until it has been determined
that the equipment and circuit can be safely reenergized.

qc@harada.com.ph
3.0 Work on or Near Energized Electrical Parts

A hazard analysis must be performed for all work on or near liver parts operating at 50 volts
or more where an electrical hazard exists. The hazard analysis will include a shock hazard
analysis and flash hazard analysis performed by a qualified electrical person.
All work at and beyond the prohibited boundary must be performed under an approved
EWP.
Before work commences, a separate briefing must be conducted with all involved personnel
and will specifically include electrical hazards associated with the work, procedures to be
followed, special precautions, energy source controls, and PPE requirements.
Barricades must be used in conjunction with safety signs where it is necessary to prevent or
limit employee access to work areas containing live parts.
If signs and barricades do not provide sufficient warning and protection from electrical
hazards, an attendant must be stationed to warn and protect employees. The primary duty
and responsibility of an attendant will be to keep unauthorized personnel outside the area
where exposure to an electrical hazard exists.
4.0 Determining Approach Boundaries

A. Limited Approach Boundary – Working Near
This boundary establishes the distance around exposed energized parts that only an
electrical worker may enter. If another employee must work at or beyond the limited
approach boundary to perform a minor task, like inspection, then an electrical worker
must advise them of the possible hazards and ensure that the employee is
safeguarded.
To work at or beyond a limited approach boundary, the electrical worker must:
• Determine if PPE is required for the task to be performed.
• Have specific knowledge of equipment.
• Have a documented plan if the task may cause accidental crossing of the
restricted boundary.
B. Prohibited Approach Boundary (refer to Table 1)
Crossing a prohibited boundary is considered working on exposed, energized
conductors or circuit parts. This includes crossing the boundary with hands, feet, other
body parts, probes, tools, or test equipment regardless of protective clothing.
For subcontractors/sub tier contractors, an electrical worker must have an EWP signed
by the appropriate subcontractor manager, Project Health and Safety Officer, and the
Contractor construction manager to work at or beyond a prohibited approach boundary.

qc@harada.com.ph
5.0 Calculating/Determining Arc Flash Protection

Electrical arc hazards must be considered in pre-job planning for work at or beyond
the limited and prohibited approach boundaries. Arc flash incident energy and arc
flash boundaries must be determined by a qualified electrical person. Appropriate
PPE for hands, face, and body must be established where necessary and used.
6.0 Energized Electrical Work Permit (EWP) Process

This process is required when working at or beyond the prohibited boundary.
Note: The EWP is not required to:
• Perform zero energy checks for isolated systems or components.
• Install safety barriers where the risk of electrical shock or burn is unlikely.
A. Permits
Permit to Work
If the permit to work process is in use, a Permit to Work must be obtained.
Energized Electrical Work Permit
Before performing energized electrical work, a EWP will be completed by the
supervisor and the required approvals obtained.
Energized Electrical Work Authorized Permit Issuer Training and Authorization
The appointment and training of Energized Electrical Work Authorized Permit
Issuers must follow certain procedures. However, in addition, they will have sound
and thorough knowledge in matters relating to the preparation and conduct of
energized electrical work. Practical experience in preparing EWPs under guidance
will be an integral part of training.
Note: When performing energized electrical work in an operating facility, it is a
common requirement to use the facility “energized electrical work permit
process” instead of the process described above.
B. Responsible Manager/Supervisor
After consulting with the workers, ensure that measures have been taken to
deenergize all electrical sources and that there is no feasible alternative to
completing work on the energized equipment that is at or beyond the prohibited
boundary.
INC.
Tel. Nos.: (046) 402-1108/1109/1110 Fax Nos.: (046) 402-1106/1185
qc@harada.com.ph
If the permit to work process is in use, obtain a Permit to Work in accordance with
the established procedures.
Obtain an approved EWP.
Note: EWPs will be developed for only the length of time necessary to complete
the work — typically no more than a week. However, it is recognized that EWPs
will sometimes be required for longer time periods.
Standardized EWPs may be developed for routine tasks and must be reapproved
every 6 months. Nonstandard EWPs must be reapproved every 30 days.
Include the completed EWP and current drawings defining safety boundaries.
Have a copy of the completed EWP available at the jobsite.
C. Employees / Workers
Actively participate in establishing protective measures, completing the permit,
reviewing the permit, and ensuring that only current drawings are used. Include
walkdown and verification of initial conditions in the review before starting the job.
D. Safety and Health Officer
Validate that energized work is necessary and determine that the control measures
used are sufficient.
E. Energized Electrical Work Authorized Permit Issuer
Review and approve, as appropriate, the EWP if it is for work at or beyond a prohibited
boundary.
7.0 Personal Protection Equipment

Protective equipment must be maintained in a safe, reliable condition.
Protective equipment must be stored and used according to the manufacturer’s
recommendation.
Protective items that become contaminated with grease, oil, or flammable liquids and
combustible materials may not be used.
A. Protective Clothing
Workers at and beyond the flash protection boundary will wear protective clothing and
other PPEs. Protected areas may include the following:
• Head, face, neck, and chin
• Eye
• Full body
• Hand and arm
• Foot and leg
INC.
Tel. Nos.: (046) 402-1108/1109/1110 Fax Nos.: (046) 402-1106/1185
qc@harada.com.ph
B. Protective Equipment
Inspect item(s) to be used before each use to verify the item is in satisfactory condition
and has been tested as required.
Note: Rubber protective equipment is inspected, sterilized, and tested at 6 month

intervals. Hot sticks are tested at least every 12 months and date stamped at that
time. A recommended alternative is to use disposable, voltage rated (not to
exceed 1000 volts) protective equipment.
Inspect voltage-rated tools for defects and surface contamination such as moisture
before each use. Do not rely on insulated tools alone for complete protection.
Employees are briefed on the use of insulating rubber gloves prior to use.
8.0 Testing and Troubleshooting
Testing and troubleshooting on live, energized parts is allowed when an EWP for
troubleshooting is developed and approved. If a problem is discovered during the
troubleshooting and either a component must be removed or rework must be performed, this
is no longer troubleshooting. At that time, the circuit must be deenergized and locked out
another EWP must be developed and approved before the work can be started if
deenergizing is not feasible.
Note: While troubleshooting, work may continue under the original “troubleshooting” EWP.
However, this original “troubleshooting” EWP is not valid for any rework or component
removal.
Note: Removing or installing a fuse from a circuit above 220 volts to ground requires
deenergizing the fuse terminals unless doing so creates increased hazards or is infeasible
due to equipment design. Use fuse-handling equipment, insulated for the circuit voltage, to
remove
or install fuses when one or both terminals are energized.
9.0 Underground Temporary Electrical Components
Temporary electrical components placed underground must be marked so that identification

and approximate location are readily apparent aboveground.
10.0 Electrical Testing
Only electrical workers or electrical engineers who are trained in the operation and limitations
of the equipment may use electrical test equipment.
INC.
Tel. Nos.: (046) 402-1108/1109/1110 Fax Nos.: (046) 402-1106/1185
qc@harada.com.ph
Electrical test equipment will be visually inspected immediately before use — do not use if it
is defective. Identify defective test equipment by tagging it out of service and repair or
dispose of it properly.
Electrical test equipment may be used only for intended applications. Make operating
instructions and limitations for the test equipment available to the electrical worker.
Check electrical test equipment for proper operation immediately before and after use when
verifying that circuits are deenergized. When performing zero energy checks, ensure that
stored electrical or mechanical energy cannot reenergize the circuit.
Note: If the circuit to be deenergized is over 600 volts, the test equipment is checked against
a known source before and after the circuit test.
11.0 Electrical/Electronic Equipment
Portable electrical equipment and extension leads must be tested every 3 months.
Mobile and stationary equipment must be tested at least every 12 months.
11.1 Color Coding for Testing
All electrical equipment will be colored tag after inspection.
Each project will use a system, either local or the above, in its testing program. An
electrical register detailing the test program will be developed for the site.
The marking system must remain legible between inspections.
11.2 Grounding
Frames of arc welding and cutting machines will be grounded.
13.0 Flexible Cords and Cables
Extension cord sets will not be used as a substitute for the permanent wiring of a building.
UL-listed flexible cords suitable for conditions and location will be used. Flexible cord sets
used with grounding-type equipment must contain an equipment-grounding conductor.
Flexible cords and cables must be protected from damage.
Note: Cords and cables may be damaged by foot traffic, vehicles, sharp edges, pinching, or
improper storage.
Note: Extension cords are an acceptable means of extending power provided they do not
contribute to overload, are protected from damage, and are removed when not in
use.
INC.
Tel. Nos.: (046) 402-1108/1109/1110 Fax Nos.: (046) 402-1106/1185
qc@harada.com.ph
Note: Extension cords may be plugged into other extension cords, except when prohibited by
the manufacturer. Such prohibition may be found on the label.
Extension cords will be inspected daily before use, except those used with appliances that
are for extended service and not exposed to damage.
Surge suppressors must have a built-in circuit interrupter and have cord size equal to or
greater than the cords on the equipment being served. Do not attach to building surfaces
using staples or other means that may damage the cord. Do not “daisy chain” multiple outlet
devices or surge suppressors.
Damaged cord sets will be discarded. Cord sets that have breaks in insulation are repaired
by an electrical worker so that the insulation is equal to, or better than, the original. Do not
repair cords smaller than number 12 American Wire Gage (AWG).
14.0 Blind Penetrations/Break-Ins
The following actions must be taken, as appropriate, when planning to perform a blind
penetration or drill into a wall, floor, slab, or an excavation containing or suspected of
containing electrical cords:
• Review all drawings and documentation. To the extent possible, thoroughly inspect
the jobsite to determine if obstructions are in the drilling path before starting the job.
• If the permit to work process is in use, obtain a Permit to Work.
• A Break-In Permit must be completed for all blind penetrations/break-ins.
Break-In Authorized Permit
When performing blind penetration and break-in work in an operating facility, it is a common
requirement to use the facility “break-in permit process” instead of the process described
above.
Note: If the presence and location of electrical circuits or conductors cannot be accurately
identified and deenergized, appropriate mitigating controls must be used. At a
minimum, employees doing blind penetrations and break-ins use appropriate class
dielectric gloves with protective outer leather gloves and nonconductive safety
glasses with side shields.
15.0 Core Drilling
Survey/scanning services will be used when necessary to confirm reference points and
locate rebar and embedment.
Note: Consider using the “break-in permit” process above to ensure adequate hazard
identification and controls.
INC.
Tel. Nos.: (046) 402-1108/1109/1110 Fax Nos.: (046) 402-1106/1185
qc@harada.com.ph
When possible, use existing penetrations as reference points to lay out or verify correct
locations for core drilling.
Use of pneumatic-powered drilling equipment requires the use of safety chains or other
equivalent safety/locking devices at all hose connections and couplings.
Drilling equipment will be provided with an additional external ground wire, No. 10 AWG or
greater.
A GFCI device and concealed metal detector (dielectric drill stop) will be installed to ensure
that the power is interrupted if metal embedments are contacted during drilling operations.
Note: Concealed metal detectors should not be relied upon for shock protection if an
energized circuit is contacted. If the possibility of contacting a hidden energized
circuit cannot be ruled out, appropriate PPE should be used.
16.0 Electric Code Compliance
Employees must use or install equipment that is certified, listed, labeled, or otherwise
determined to be safe such as UL.
• Custom -made equipment or related equipment may be acceptable if the manufacturer

states the components are safe for their intended use by its manufacturer on the basis of
test data, which must be obtained by, or delivered to, and retained by the facility/owner.
• Employees must design, install, and inspect new installations and modifications in
accordance with applicable electric codes and standards.
17.0 Training
Training for construction employees and electrical workers will be conducted as follows:
• Employees receive basic instruction on electrical safety as part of their orientation.

• Employees who face a higher than normal risk of contact with electrically energized
parts 50 volts or more to ground are trained as “electrical workers”.
• Immediate supervisors (such as foremen and general foremen) have at least the same
level of electrical safety training as the employees/workers they are responsible for, or for
whom they plan or supervise work.
• If the employee is unfamiliar with the construction or operation of equipment or hazards
associated with the task, additional training is required. In these cases, the supervisor
documents the instruction the employee receives in the use of safe work practices for
the voltage levels to be encountered and the selection, inspection, and use of PPE.
• Training is conducted, documented, and tracked.
18.0 Program Evaluation

qc@harada.com.ph
This program shall be reviewed and evaluated at least annually to determine its
effectiveness and provide improvement thereon.
LOCK – OUT TAG – OUT PROGRAM
I. PURPOSE
This policy is established to protect Company employees from the serious injuries that
could result from the unexpected release of hazardous energy while working as required by
the Occupational Safety and Health Standards (OSHS).
II. SCOPE
This policy applies to the electrical works and servicing machines and equipment where the
unexpected energization, start-up or release of stored energy could cause injury to
employees.
III. GENERAL LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURES--To be used when machinery or

equipment has only one energy source.
To conduct any electrical works on machines or equipment, authorized employees must

follow the following Shutdown and Restart procedures:
A. Shutdown Procedures--Establishing Lockout/Tagout
1. Prepare for Shutdown - locate and identify

Locate and identify all energy isolating devices that apply to the machine or
equipment to be locked out. (If more than one energy source is involved, the
Machine-Specific Lockout/Tag out Procedures must be followed).
2. Notify all affected employees that a lockout/tagout is about to take place, the
reason for the lockout/tag out, and the specific machinery or equipment
affected.
3. Shut Down the machine or equipment by its normal stopping procedure.
4. Operate the disconnect switch, circuit breaker, valve or other energy isolating
device to isolate (disconnect) the machine or equipment from its energy source.
5. Lockout and Tag out. Apply individually assigned lockout and tagout devices to
the energy isolating device.
INC.
Tel. Nos.: (046) 402-1108/1109/1110 Fax Nos.: (046) 402-1106/1185
qc@harada.com.ph
6. Relieve/Restrain Stored Energy. Exhaust or restrain stored or residual energy in
the machine or equipment by grounding, blocking, bleeding down, etc.
7. Verify Isolation. Clear the area around the machine or equipment of

nonessential objects. Make sure that all personnel are safely positioned or
removed from the area. Then test all the operating controls by putting them in
the “on” position to ensure that the energy source has been successfully
disconnected.
CAUTION: Return the operating control(s) to the neutral or off position before
proceeding with servicing or maintenance work.
LOCKOUT/TAGOUT IS NOW COMPLETE - the authorized employee may

proceed with servicing or maintenance work.
B. Restart Procedures -- Removal of Locks and Tags
1. Check Machine/Equipment
Check the machine/equipment and surrounding area to ensure that
nonessential objects have been removed, guards have been reinstalled
and that the machine/equipment is operationally intact.
2. Verify
Verify controls on the machine/equipment are in the neutral or off position
and that all employees are safely positioned or removed from the area.
3. Remove Locks and Tags

Remove lockout and tagout devices and reenergize.
4. Notify Affected Employees

Before restarting machinery/equipment, notify affected employees that the
servicing or maintenance is complete and that locks and tags have been
removed.
IV. MACHINE-SPECIFIC LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURES - To be used when

machinery or equipment has more than one energy source that must be controlled
to perform service/maintenance work.
If electrical works requires controlling more than one energy source on a machine,
written Lockout/Tagout Procedures must be developed for each specific machine. If
the methods to control energy sources are identical for a group of machines, then
one set of procedures may be developed for the group. Health and Safety Officer/s
is/are available to assist in developing machine-specific procedures.
V. SPECIAL SITUATIONS
B. Group Lockout/Tagout
INC.
Tel. Nos.: (046) 402-1108/1109/1110 Fax Nos.: (046) 402-1106/1185
qc@harada.com.ph
Whenever more than one authorized employee performs Lockout/Tag out,
each individual group member must follow the Lockout/Tagout procedures outlined
in this program. Employees must NEVER depend upon someone else's lockout
device, and must ALWAYS use their individually assigned lockout device.
Health and Safety Officer/s is/are available to assist in developing written
programs.
C. Using Tag-Out Only
Tag-Out without a lock is allowed ONLY when machinery or equipment is

incapable of being locked out. Tagout may be implemented ONLY with the
prior knowledge and approval of the appropriate supervisor, using the
following procedures.
1. The authorized employee will advise the supervisor that lockout is not
possible.
2. The authorized employee and supervisor will determine if other equally
effective controls can be implemented, such as the removal of a valve
stem, isolating a circuit element, or by blocking a controlling switch.
3. Supervisors must provide training to the authorized and affected
employees involved in the tagout operation at the time tagout is to be
conducted.
4. The authorized employee will follow the applicable Lockout/Tagout
Procedures outlined in this program, omitting lockout.
5. The authorized employee will securely attach his/her tagout device to the
energy isolating device where a lockout device would have been attached,
if possible.
D. Shift Changes
When electrical works are extends by more than one shift, a procedure is
established for the orderly transfer of responsibility from one shift to another. In
developing this procedure, the following must be taken into account:
1. Each authorized employee must ensure that equipment he/she is working

on is locked and tagged out with his/her individually assigned lockout and
tagout device.
Employees must NEVER depend on someone else’s lockout device for
protection.
2. Authorized employees must remove their individually assigned lockout
and tagout devices once electrical work is completed.
3. Lockout/tagout devices must NEVER be left on beyond an authorized
employee’s work shift without supervisor approval.
E. Removing Lockout and Tagout Devices
The key to each lockout device must be in the sole possession of the
employee to which it was assigned. Only the authorized employee who applied
the lockout or tagout device may remove it, except as noted below.

qc@harada.com.ph
EXCEPTION: When the authorized employee who applied a lockout or tagout
device is not available to remove it, the device may be removed ONLY under
the direction of TWO supervisors provided that:
1. Absolute verification has been made that the employee is not on project
site or otherwise available.
2. Every reasonable effort has been made to contact the employee to notify
him/her that his/her lockout/tagout device has been removed.
3. The employee is informed before returning to work that his/her
lockout/tagout device has been removed.
VI. PERIODIC INSPECTIONS
Documented periodic inspections must be made at least annually by supervisors to

verify that Lockout/Tagout procedures are understood by employees and are being
followed properly. A form in Appendix A is provided for this purpose, a copy of which
should be sent to Health & Safety. Health and Safety Officer/s is/are available to
assist in conducting periodic inspection.
VII. TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
Employees must be trained according to their assigned duties. Training will be

conducted by the Health & Safety Officer/s in conjunction with appropriate
supervisors. The following training is required:
1. Authorized employees will receive initial training in how to recognize

hazardous energy sources, the type and magnitude of the energy available
in the workplace, and the required Lockout/Tagout procedures to be
followed to ensure energy isolation and control.
2. Affected employees will be instructed in the purpose, use and restrictions of
Lockout/Tagout and how to recognize that Lockout/Tagout is being
