Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) refers to items typically worn by a worker to provide
protection from recognized hazards. Depending on the job task to be performed, PPE for the
electric power industry generally includes safety glasses, face shields, hard hats, safety shoes,
insulating (rubber) gloves with leather protectors, insulating sleeves, and flame-resistant (FR)
clothing. Additional PPE, such as fall protection equipment, respirators, chemical-resistant or
cut-resistant gloves, and chaps, may be required, depending on the results of the hazard
assessment required under 1910.132 or on additional "269" requirements (for example, when
working with brush chippers, chain saws, or stump cutters).

In addition to PPE, electric power workers often use Insulating Protective Equipment (IPE), such
as line hoses, rubber hoods, rubber blankets, and insulating live-line tools (for example, hotsticks,
switch sticks, or shotgun sticks) for protection. However, since IPE is not worn, it is technically
not considered to be PPE and is discussed in a separate section of this Tool.

Prior to requiring workers to wear PPE, employers are required to:

 Perform hazard assessments, as required, and determine the PPE needed to protect
workers.
 Provide training on the proper use of PPE for working on or near exposed energized parts.
 Discuss PPE needs during required job briefings.
 Inspect and test certain PPE such as insulating (rubber) gloves and sleeves (29 CFR
1910.137) to ensure that they are not damaged or defective, and will provide the needed
protection.

What are electrical hazards
An electrical hazard is a dangerous condition where a worker can or does make
electrical contact with energized equipment or a conductor. From that contact, the
person may sustain an injury from shock, and there is a potential for the worker to
receive an arc flash (electrical explosion) burn, thermal burn or blast injury.
Electricity can either be "static" or "dynamic". Dynamic electricity is the uniform motion
of electrons through condition (electric current). Static electricity is the accumulation of
charge on surfaces as a result of contact and friction with another surface.
According to the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) there were 83¹ electrocutions in
Ontario from 2001 through 2010. According to ESA, the most common cause of
occupational electrocution is using an improper procedure (60%)².

What the law says

Employers need to develop and implement a written health and safety program that
supports the control of electrical hazards in the workplace and follow the regulations
that apply to electrical hazards in the workplace. For example, the Construction
Regulation (Ontario Regulation 213/91 Section 182) is very specific about who can work
on electrical equipment e.g. an electrician certified under the Trades Qualification and
Apprenticeship Act.
Guidelines for working on or near electrical equipment and conductors are found in
several documents, including:

• Construction Regulation (Ontario Regulation 213/91)

• Ontario Electrical Safety Code
• Ontario Regulation 213/07 (2007)
• Fire Code Part 4, Subsection 4.1.8 (Handling Flammable and Combustible
Liquids)
• Ontario Regulation 851, Regulation for Industrial Establishments, Section 22,
Subsection 4
• NPFA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace
• CSA Z462 Workplace Electrical Safety
• CSA Z460-05 Control of Hazardous Energy - Lockout and Other Methods
How having an electrical hazards program can help your business
Thirty thousand (30,000) electrical shock incidents occur every year. Since 1998,
according to the Ministry of Labour, 69 people were killed, 263 were critically injured
and 844 workers received more than minor injuries as a result of exposure to electrical
hazards.

YASAY MODULE
Nearly half of these incidents involved people working on electrical equipment while it
was energized, including 28 workers who were killed and 255 who received serious
burns from an arc flash. Other causes of injury involved malfunctioning meters, faulty
equipment and the use of equipment in close proximity to live electricity.
The most common type of work to result in an electrocution is routine work involving
repair and maintenance. Ensure lockout procedures are followed and that circuits are
tested to ensure that they are de-energized. The main dangers of electrical hazards are
electrical shock and/or fire. In the past decade, 21 per cent of electrical-related fatalities
have involved workers in an electrical trade such as electricians. However, the other 79
per cent involved workers in other occupations such as maintenance workers,
millwrights, apprentices, labourers, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
technicians, equipment operators, supervisors, and drivers.
The impact of an electrical injury or fatality can be devastating for the workers involved
and crippling in terms of production downtime, legal fees and associated costs.

What you can do

Employers need to identify potential electrical hazards in the workplace, create the
necessary policies and programs, provide personal protective equipment as
appropriate, and provide training on how to safely work with or near electrical hazards.

Procedures in interpreting job requirements of wiring devices

Learning Objectives:
After reading this Information Sheet, you must be able to:
1. Define wiring device according to electrical code
2. Identify the types of wiring devices and its classification
3. Guidelines in selecting wiring devices

Introduction
Wiring devices are defined as single discrete units of electrical distribution systems which are
intended to carry but not utilize electric energy. Wiring devices are electrical devices used to
control and to provide connection points for low voltage outlets, lighting systems and appliances
(e.g., wall switches and receptacles). The Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) and National Electrical
Code (NEC) defines device as a unit of an electrical system that is intended to carry or control
but not utilize electric energy.

Types and Classification of Wiring Devices

This covers a wide assortment of system components that include,
however not limited to the following:

1. Switches and Plates

2. Relays and Conductors
3. Receptacles and Plates
4. Conductors
5. Fuses and Circuit Breakers

 6. Outlets (Floor Outlet, Grounding Type Convenience Outlet or otherwise
known as Special Purpose Outlet or SPO)

SIDEBAR: Article 406

Article 406 covers the rating, type, and installation of receptacles, cord connectors, and
attachment plugs (cord caps). It also addresses their grounding requirements. Some
key points worth noting include:

Follow the grounding requirements of the specific type of device you’re using.
When installing replacement receptacles, follow the requirements of 406.4(D).
Mount receptacles following the requirements of 406.5.

Further, the devises are classified in terms with their functions as path
devices, control devices, fault devices and protective devices.

Path Devices are devices which serves as path of electric current of the
wiring system like wire (conductor) and all parts of the circuit that has a low
resistance.

Control Devices are devices which can regulate the flow of current. They can
make or break the circuit. Lighting Switches are common examples of control
devices

Fault Devices are devices which can immediately detect any fault in the wiring
system. GFCI and AFCI are common examples of fault devices.

Protective Devices are devices which is the weakest link of the circuit and will
protect the circuit from overcurrent.
Note: An information sheet about protective devices are explain in the
previous competency.

Guidelines for wiring device application designs.

 features and characteristics to meet most design/application requirements.
Grades of wiring devices, manufacturer's catalogs use a variety of terms to
indicate the quality or grade of wiring devices offered.
For example, the term "economy," "competitive," "intermediate," or
"residential" are sometimes used to indicate that the device is economically
priced or designed for light-duty applications. Terms such as "specification" or
"super-specification" would indicate devices that are of better quality,
designed for greater reliability and usually higher priced.
However, none of these terms has an official status with standardizing
agencies such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Factory-Mutual (FM),
Electrical Testing Laboratories (ETL), or the National Electrical Manufacturers
Association (NEMA).
Presently, UL lists wiring devices for only two grades, standard and
hospital grade. All devices, whether termed intermediate, economy, or
specification must meet identical UL requirements (although as mentioned
above, specification grade devices are of better quality construction).
Above all, the Philippine Electrical Code must be the basis for the
guidelines for wiring devices and application designs.

How to select wiring devices?

Here the steps in selecting wiring devices:

1. Select a known industry manufacturer.

2. Look for a multi- year product warranty.
3. Make sure that there is an easy and clear way to contact the manufacturers
support.
4. Check for a connected equipment damage warranty.
5. Always ask for manufacturer’s manual
6. Select wiring devices which are well-made and durable.
7. Select materials that easy to use and install.

8. Select wiring devices according to the job requirements Telephone
