			 equipment as specified in paragraphs (3) through (8) below. However, if the
			 employer can demonstrate that installation of a ground is impracticable or that
			 the conditions resulting from the installation of a ground would present
			 greater hazards to employees than working without grounds, the lines and
			 equipment may be treated as deenergized provided that the employer establishes
			 that all of the following conditions apply:
(a) The employer ensures that the lines and
			 equipment are deenergized under the provisions of 437-002-2312  Deenergizing

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1)
			 Application. 437-002-2314  provides for safe work practices for high-voltage and
			 high-power testing performed in laboratories, shops, and substations, and in
			 the field and on electric transmission and distribution lines and equipment. It
			 applies only to testing involving interim measurements using high voltage, high
			 power, or combinations of high voltage and high power, and not to testing
			 involving continuous measurements as in routine metering, relaying, and normal
			 line work.
Note
to paragraph (1): Oregon OSHA considers
				routine inspection and maintenance measurements made by qualified employees to
				be routine line work not included in the scope of 437-002-2314, provided that
				the hazards related to the use of intrinsic high-voltage or high-power sources
				require only the normal precautions associated with routine work specified in
				the other paragraphs of this rule. Two typical examples of such excluded test
				work procedures are "phasing-out" testing and testing for a "no-voltage"
				condition.
(2) General
			 requirements.
(a) The employer must establish
			 and enforce work practices for the protection of each worker from the hazards
			 of high-voltage or high-power testing at all test areas, temporary and
			 permanent. Such work practices must include, as a minimum, test area
			 safeguarding, grounding, the safe use of measuring and control circuits, and a
			 means providing for periodic safety checks of field test areas.
(b) The employer must ensure that each
			 employee, upon initial assignment to the test area, receives training in safe
			 work practices, with retraining provided as required by 437-002-2300(2).
