California Code of Regulations › Title 8 - Industrial Relations › Division 1 - Department of Industrial Relations › Chapter 4 - Division of Industrial Safety › Subchapter 5 - Electrical Safety Orders › Group 1 - Low-Voltage Electrical Safety Orders › Article 3 - Work Procedures › Section 2320.11 - Protection from Flames and Electric Arcs

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Scope: This section covers the construction, operation,
						  and maintenance of electric power generation, control, transformation,
						  transmission, and distribution lines and equipment. This includes related
						  equipment for the purpose of communication or metering that are accessible only
						  to qualified employees.
(a) Hazard
						Assessment.
(1) The employer shall assess the
						workplace in accordance with GISO, Section
						3203 to identify employees exposed
						to hazards from flames or from electric arcs.
(2) For each employee exposed to hazards from
						electric arcs, the employer shall make a reasonable estimate of the incident
						heat energy to which the employee would be exposed.
NOTE 1 to subsection (a)(2): Appendix D of the HVESO
						  provides guidance on estimating available heat energy. The Division of
						  Occupational Safety and Health will deem employers following the guidance in
						  Appendix D to this article to be in compliance with subsection (a)(2) of this
						  section. An employer may choose a method of calculating incident heat energy
						  not included in Appendix D to this article if the chosen method reasonably
						  predicts the incident energy to which the employee would be exposed.
NOTE 2 to subsection (a)(2): This subsection does not
						  require the employer to estimate the incident heat energy exposure for every
						  job task performed by each employee. The employer may make broad estimates that
						  cover multiple system areas provided the employer uses reasonable assumptions
						  about the energy-exposure distribution throughout the system and provided the
						  estimates represent the maximum employee exposure for those areas. For example,
						  the employer could estimate the heat energy just outside a substation feeding a
						  radial distribution system and use that estimate for all jobs performed on that
						  radial system.

						  and protect other equipment, the adequacy of the protection thus
						  provided;
(3) Wire-bending and
						  connection space;

						and cord connectors having grounding contacts shall have those contacts
						effectively grounded except for receptacles mounted on portable and
						vehicle-mounted generators in accordance with Section
						2395.6 of these Orders and
						replacement receptacles installed in accordance with subsection (d) of this

						of receptacles and cord connectors shall be grounded by connection to the
						equipment grounding conductor of the circuit supplying the receptacle or cord
						connector. The branch circuit wiring method shall include or provide an
						equipment grounding conductor to which the grounding contacts of the receptacle
						or cord connector shall be connected.
(d) Replacement of receptacles shall comply
						with the following requirements:
(1) Where a
						grounding means exists in the receptacle enclosure or a grounding conductor is
						installed, grounding-type receptacles shall be used and shall be connected to
						the grounding means or conductor;
(2) Ground-fault circuit-interrupter
						protected receptacles shall be provided where replacements are made at
						receptacle outlets that are required to be so protected elsewhere in these
						Orders; and

						means does not exist in the receptacle enclosure, the installation shall comply
						with one of the following provisions:
(A) A
						nongrounding-type receptacle may be replaced with another nongrounding-type
						receptacle; or
(B) A
						nongrounding-type receptacle may be replaced with a ground-fault

						equipment grounding conductor shall not be connected from the ground-fault
						circuit-interrupter-type receptacle to any outlet supplied from the
						ground-fault circuit-interrupter receptacle; or
(C) A nongrounding-type receptacle may be
						replaced with a grounding-type receptacle where supplied through a ground-fault
						circuit-interrupter; the replacement receptacle shall be marked "GFCI
