AGENDA
• Overview of case histories involving electrical hazards.
• What are the some of the issues in regards to poor culture implementation in the day to day running of your business?
• Includes a “comprehensive” discussion of “Risk Assessment Procedures” as used in CSA Z462-15.
• How these procedures can be implemented in the wind industry in a safe, cost effective and due diligent manner.
#1 Electrification
VOLTAGE CURRENT
On the day of the incident, the company failed to ensure technicians working in wind farm towers affixed their own energy isolation devices - also known as personal lock and tag devices - on the tower turbine switch gear at ground level. That created the possibility for other workers to energize transformers in the turbine towers, upon which technicians were working at a distance of approximately 350 feet above ground. The injured worker suffered third degree burns to his neck, chest and arms, and second degree burns to the face as a result of an arc flash that occurred when a transformer was unexpectedly energized by another worker.
Due Diligence?
This duty also applies to situations that are not addressed elsewhere in the occupational health and
safety legislation.
