Pub-3000 Chapter 8“Electrical Safety”
Overview of Revisions
Tom CaronnaLBNL Electrical Safety Engineer
510/486-4314
What’s Revised/Reformatted:
• Document is easier to understand and implement• Uses graphs and flow charts in addition to informational tables
(section 8.7)• Includes separate criteria for distribution power, high voltage stored
energy systems, and batteries (section 8.7)• Uses separate hazard control tables for R&D and premises wiring
(section 8.7)• Hazard control requirements are clearly outlined (section 8.7)• Supportive information is now in appendices• Criteria for becoming an electrically Qualified Person is defined,
including background training profiles (section 8.8)• Links to other information are provided• Defines permit processes and allows for standing procedures for
repetitive processes of diagnostics and testing. (section 8.7)o Replaces the need for Appendix A1 permits in most applicationso Must have line management approval
• Electrical technical terms are identified (lower case capital font) and are defined in definitions section of chapter (appendix D)
