7.0 DEFINITIONS
Terminal Management; highest level of authority on site, may be manager, supervisor or a

delegated responsibility
Electric shock; is contact with energized electrical equipment, conductors or circuit parts that
cause the flow of electrical current through the body
Arc flash; is a flash created by current flow through the air between two or more conductors, or
circuit parts and/or the equipment enclosure (ground) which ionizes and super heats the air very
rapidly
Arc Flash Boundary; when an arc flash hazard exists, an approach limit at a distance from a
prospective arc source within which a person could receive a second-degree burn if an electrical
arc flash were to occur.
*** NOTE ***

A second-degree burn is possible by an exposure of unprotected skin to an electric
arc flash above the incident-energy level of 5 J/cm² (1.2 cal./cm)²
Persons crossing into the arc flash protection boundary are required to wear the
appropriate PPE as determined by selection from Table 5 when no calculation has been
completed, or Annex H when Energy Analysis has been completed

CAT A-1 SOP #4
Arc Blast; is the release of tremendous pressures as a result of an arc fault where current flows
through the air between two conductors or a conductor and ground
Electrical equipment; includes machinery, plant, works, wires, pipes, poles, conduits,
apparatus, appliances and equipment, designed or used, or intended for use, for or in connection
with generation, transmission, supply, distribution or use of electrical energy for any purpose;
Limited Approach Boundary; is a shock protection boundary to be crossed by only qualified

persons (at a distance from a live part as specified by Tables 1A and 1B of CSA Z462-15) which
is not to be crossed by unqualified persons unless escorted by a qualified person
Restricted Approach Boundary; is a a shock protection boundary to be crossed by only

qualified persons (at a distance from a live part as specified by Tables 1A and 1B of CSA Z462-
15) which, due to its proximity to a shock hazard, requires the use of shock protection techniques
and equipment when crossed
8.0 PREREQUISITIES
Only qualified person(s) with skills and knowledge to the construction and operation of electrical
equipment and installations and has received safety training on the hazards involved shall
perform the work.
9.0 HAZARDS
There are three main electrical hazards:

<1> ELECTRIC SHOCK
<2> ARC FLASH
<3> ARC BLAST
However, when working on electrical equipment, other additional hazards must be reviewed,
such as: height, confined space, environment, etc.

CAT A-1 SOP #4
9.1 ELECTRIC SHOCK

Electric shock is contact with energized electrical equipment, conductors or circuit parts that
cause the flow of electrical current through the body. The severity of the shock is determined by
the amount of electrical current, the total time that it flows through the body, and where it flows
through the body. A current as low as 23 milliamps may be fatal due to respiratory paralysis and
100 milliamps due to heart ventricular fibrillation. Humid or wet conditions or sweaty skin
increase the potential for electrical shock.
The shock hazard must be considered at any voltage greater than or equal to 50V as defined in
CSA Z462. Lower frequencies associated with variable frequency drives and the like, increase
the risk of electrocution by lowering the level of current at which we can let go of an energized
conductor or circuit part (10Hz as low as 10 mA- 100Hz as high as 100 mA and at normal
frequency (60Hz - 60 mA).
9.2 ARC FLASH

Electrical equipment that faults and creates an arc flash can expose a worker to extreme heat
causing severe burn. Arc flashes are created by current flow through the air between two or
more conductors, or circuit parts which ionizes and super heats the air very rapidly. Some
secondary hazards related to arc flash are:
 Fire
 Toxic smoke inhalation from vaporized copper
 Sound pressure that could damage hearing
 High intensity, UV/IR light that may damage eyesight
 Flying molten metal that may cause injury
An electrical equipment arc flash can produce temperatures up to 20,000⁰C (35,000⁰F), a

temperatures at which materials are vaporized. This explosive release of energy can result in
injuries caused by an intense blast of heat, noise, light and air pressure which can spread molten
metal at great distances. When the explosion occurs within a motor control centre or switchgear,
the release is intensified.

CAT A-1 SOP #4
9.3 ARC BLAST

Is associated with the release of tremendous pressures as a result of an arc fault where current
flows through the air between two conductors or a conductor and ground. Vaporized copper,
molten metal, pressure waves, shrapnel, intense noise and toxic smoke/gases are some of the
resultants of an arc blast.
Dangers associated with an arc blast event are high pressure, sound and shrapnel. The high
pressures can easily exceed hundreds or even thousands of pounds per square foot, knocking
workers off ladders, rupturing ear-drums, and collapsing lungs. The sound associated with these
pressures can exceed 165 dB. Finally, material and molten metal is expelled away from the arc
at speeds exceeding 1120 kilometres per hour (700 MPH), fast enough for shrapnel to
completely penetrate the human body.
10.0 BASIC ELECTRICAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
Safety related work practices shall be employed to prevent electric shock or other injuries
resulting from either direct or indirect electrical contacts, when work is performed on electrical
equipment, conductors or circuit parts which are or may be energized. The specific safety-
related work practices shall be consistent with the nature and extent of the associated electrical
hazards.
Energized electrical conductors or circuit parts to which an employee may be exposed shall be
de-energized before the employee works on them, unless the employer can demonstrate that de-
energizing introduces additional or increased hazards or is infeasible due to equipment design or
operational limitations. Energized electrical conductors or circuit parts that operate at less than
50 volts to ground need not be de-energized if there will be no increased exposure to electrical
burns or to explosion due to electric arcs. Extra-low voltage will require thermal PPE when it is
determined that the incident energy that is available is greater than 1.2 cal./cm².

CAT A-1 SOP #4
*** NOTE ***

Examples of increased or additional hazards include interruption of life support equipment,
deactivation of emergency alarm systems, or shutdown of hazardous location ventilation
equipment.
*** NOTE ***

Examples of work that must be performed on energized circuit parts because of infeasibility due
to equipment design or operational limitations includes testing of circuits that can only be
performed with circuit energized.
Recommended Electrical Practices for Distribution Terminals are as follows:
 All electrical equipment should be considered energized until it is proven de-energized.

by a qualified person using approved test equipment to confirm “0” voltage. No
personnel should begin work on de-energized parts until this verification has been
completed.
 Do not rush when planning or carrying out the electrical work.
 All near misses and electrical incidents (arc flash and shock) shall be reported
immediately. These incidents should be fully investigated, lessons learned and
recommendations implemented.

CAT A-1 SOP #4
 No worker should begin any electrical work until he/she fully understands the
instructions received and in no circumstances should that person exceed those
instructions. Should any person consider that the instructions given cannot be carried out
safely, that person should refer the matter immediately to an appropriate supervisor.
 No worker should interfere with ground connections, locks, tags, danger or warning
signs, or safety devices; or attempt to close a switch that is in the open position.
 Only use tools that are properly insulated and approved to the appropriate standard.
 Test every circuit and every conductor, every time before you touch. Use Test-Before
Touch procedure.
 Do not work on any electrical circuit where the area is damp or wet until insulated rubber
matting or rated footwear is available and utilized, and the circuit is isolated and
grounded.
 During the execution of a task if any changes are noticed from planned procedures, then
immediately stop the task, think and analyze, assess the risk, control the risk and then
resume work.
11.0 ALERTING TECHNIQUES
The following alerting techniques shall be used to warn and protect all persons from hazards
which could cause injury due to electric shock, arc flash or failure of electric equipment parts.
 Safety signs, safety symbols, or accident prevention tags shall be used where necessary to
warn employees about electrical hazards which may endanger them.

CAT A-1 SOP #4
 Barricades shall be used in conjunction with safety signs where it is necessary to prevent
or limit individual access to work areas exposing individuals to non-insulated energized
conductors or circuit parts. Conductive barricades may not be used where they might
cause an electrical contact hazard.
 If signs and barricades do not provide sufficient warning and protection from electrical
hazards, a standby/signal person shall be stationed to warn and protect employees from
entering the area. An attendant may also be utilized when the task duration is known to be
short, thus eliminating the need to establish the physical barrier or when a physical
barrier is infeasible.
12.0 CONDUCTIVE APPAREL
Conductive articles of jewellery and clothing (such as watch bands, bracelets, rings, keys, chains,
necklaces, metalized aprons, cloth with conductive thread, or metal headgear) shall not be worn.
13.0 ELECTRICAL SAFETY INTERLOCKS
Electrical safety interlocks are mechanical linkages, electrical equipment or other devices which
prevent exposure to energized parts or circuits and operation of the equipment when
starter/breaker doors are opened.
Electrical interlocks must not be defeated or disabled other than for testing or during
maintenance checks. It shall be noted on the permit that interlocks will be defeated.
Only an Authorized and/or Qualified Electrical Worker may defeat an electrical safety interlock,
and then only temporarily while he or she is working on the equipment. The interlock system
shall be returned to its operable condition when the work is completed.

CAT A-1 SOP #4
14.0 ELECTRICALLY SAFE WORK CONDITION
An electrically safe work condition shall be achieved when performed in accordance with the
procedures of CSA Z462-15, and verified by the following process:
1) Determine all possible sources of electrical supply to the specific equipment. Check
applicable up-to-date single line drawings, diagrams and identification tags.
2) After properly interrupting the load current, ( Refer to SOP #09 Electrical Isolation )
open the disconnecting device(s) for each source.
3) Where it is possible, visually verify that all blades of the disconnecting devices are fully
open or draw out type circuit breakers are withdrawn to the fully disconnected position.
4) Apply Lock Out/Tag Out devices in accordance with Suncor Standards.
5) Use an adequately rated voltage detector (certified to the appropriate standard) to test
each conductor phase to phase and phase to ground to verify they are de-energized.
Before and after each test, determine that the voltage detector is operating satisfactorily.
Test-Before-Touch.
6) Where possible induced voltages or stored electrical energy exist, ground the phase
conductors or circuit parts before touching them. If it is know that capacitors exist in a
circuit allow discharge time as recommended by the manufacturer or as defined in the
Canadian Electrical Safety Code. Rule 26-222. Where it could be reasonably anticipated
that the conductors or circuit parts being de-energized could contact other exposed
energized conductors or circuit parts, apply ground connecting devices rated for the
available fault duty.

CAT A-1 SOP #4
15.0 ELECTRICALLY SAFE WORK PROCEDURES
An “electrical safe work procedure” is a written step by step description of how to perform a job
from start to finish. A safe work procedure will include the appropriate safe work practices and
will highlight the safety requirements.
16.0 MAINTENANCE
All tools and equipment shall be properly maintained so as to reduce risk of injuries to
employees or damage to property. Supervision shall ensure that all preventative maintenance is
carried out by qualified personnel according to established schedules and that records are
maintained.
All electrical workers shall regularly check all tools and equipment that they are working with,
and shall take out of service any tools or equipment that poses a hazard due to a need for repair.
Employees are expected to inspect and monitor equipment and report problems to the
appropriate supervisor.
Personally issued safety equipment is the responsibility of the individual to ensure tests, checks
or maintenance are conducted as necessary and recorded.
Records are a necessary part of the Suncor Distribution’s maintenance program. Documentation
of inspections, maintenance and repairs will be kept on file in the appropriate location.
Complete a field Level Risk Assessment (FLRA) for every work and ensure procedures are on
hand detailing the work to be performed.
It is necessary to complete an Energized Electrical Work Permit (EEWP) for all work that is not
testing and/or trouble-shooting or inspection while outside the restricted approach boundary.

CAT A-1 SOP #4
When conducting Hi-pot testing and Megger testing, appropriate warning signs, for example,
DANGER – HIGH VOLTAGE, should be posted on or near the entrance doors and flagging
tape should be used to cordon off areas of high hazards.
In the case of Infra-Red (IR) scans, precautions should be taken to prevent accidental contact of
energized terminals by personnel, either by shielding the energized terminals or by providing
barriers around the area.
Ensure personal safety grounds are installed where applicable.
At the completion of the job, ensure all tools and equipment are accounted for. Thoroughly
inspect the electrical equipment that was worked on to ensure no tools or other materials are left
inside the equipment.
Ensure all utility and personal safety grounds (if they were required) are disconnected following
appropriate Lock Out/Tag Out procedures.
Ensure any capacitors that are in the system are bled off (e.g. 0 voltage) prior to maintenance
and that bleed resistors are installed.

CAT A-1 SOP #4
All personnel performing the electrical task shall ensure the following steps are taken before
performing all electrical tasks:
(refer to “ELECTRICAL WORK FLOW CHART”)
1) Perform – Risk Assessment
2) If “LOW” risk – complete “FIELD LEVEL RISK ASSESSMENT” (FLRA) form
