Common use of Electrical Hazards Clause in Contracts

Electrical Hazards.  Keep the generator dry and do not use in exposed rain or wet conditions. To protect from moisture, operate it on a dry surface under an open, canopy-like structure. Dry your hands if wet before touching the generator.  Plug appliances directly into the generator. Or, use a heavy duty, outdoor-rated extension cord that is rated (in xxxxx or amps) at least equal to the sum of the connected appliance loads. Check that the entire cord is free of cuts or tears and that the plug has all three prongs, especially a grounding pin.  Most generators come with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI). Test the GFCIs daily to determine whether they are working  If the generator is not equipped with GFCI protected circuits, plug a portable GFCI into the generator and plug appliances, tools and lights into the portable GFCI. Electrical Fire Hazards  Never store fuel near the generator or near any sources of ignition.  Before refueling the generator, turn it off and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on hot engine parts could ignite. Energized Electrical Work  Subcontractors are responsible for complying with all applicable HS&E training requirements and for providing the training necessary to complete their tasks safely. Subcontractor training shall be verified by the Subcontractor to OWNER’S CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT CONTRACTOR prior to the start of field operations.  Electrical wiring and equipment shall be de-energized prior to conducting work unless it can be demonstrated that de-energizing introduces additional or increased hazards or is unfeasible due to equipment design or operational limitations.  All electrical systems shall be considered energized until lockout/tagout procedures are implemented.  Only qualified personnel donning a garment compliant with NFPA 70E are permitted to work on unprotected energized electrical systems. An Energized Electrical competent person shall be present and shall complete an Energized Electrical Work Permit.  An Energized Electrical Work Permit is required to be completed by the energized electrical qualified persons who enter a Limited Approach Boundary or the Flash Protection Boundary to work on electric circuit parts or equipment that have not been properly de-energized, locked out, and tagged.  An Electrical Hazard Analysis must be performed to identify energized electrical safe work practices before any person approaches exposed live parts within a Limited Approach Boundary (as determined by the shock hazard analysis), by performing both shock hazard analysis and flash hazard analysis, which comprise the electrical analysis.  The Energized Electrical Work Permit shall be completed prior to energized electrical work and shall be specific to the electrical equipment or system. It shall be approved by the competent person, all involved qualified personnel, and the OWNER’S CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT CONTRACTOR SSM.
