  4. Terms used NEC - National Electric Code CFR - Codes of Federal Regulations 3M Program - Material Maintenance Management GFCI - Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter BMS - Building Maintenance Supervisor

  5. National Electric Code29 CFR 1910 Subpart S Standards for electrical systems, installations, tools and equipment

  6. OPNAVINST 5100.23 seriesOPNAVINST 5100.19 series Shore and afloat safety program manuals

  7. 29 CFR 1910.137 Testing and inspection of electrically insulated gloves.

  8. SPAWARINST 5100.9 series Maintenance and repair of electronic equipment ashore

  9. Policy A command supported electrical safety program shall be established. Activities are required to comply with Material Maintenance Management (3M) provisions, if applicable. Additionally, classroom spaces which are directly related to fleet training evolutions must comply with applicable provisions of OPNAVINST 5100.19 (series) and NSTM chapter 300, as applicable.

  10. (continued) All other spaces and non-training evolutions must comply with 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S and other related nationally recognized electrical standards, as adopted by OPNAVINST 5100.23 (series).

  11. (continued) The maintenance and repair of electronic equipment ashore is governed by SPAWARINST 5100.9 (series). Potential regulatory conflicts that may arise within the fleet-simulated training environments are to be resolved in favor of NAVSHIP/NAVSEA or OPNAVINST 5100.19 (series) as applicable.

  12. A Electrical Safety program is…... Designed to minimize electrical, fire and shock hazards

  13. Poor Tension…... Electrical receptacles that have poor tension increases resistance which eventually results in an electrical arc or fire.

  14. To protect personnel against short circuits, the grounding contact tension must be maintained so the grounding path is not breached.

  15. Incorrect wiring, improper installation and worn electrical equipment pose hazards to personnel and equipment.

  16. Poor tension on electrical conductors.

  17. Ensure ALL electrical plugs have no exposed wiring present during routine inspections...

  18. Electrical Receptacle Requirements A vigorous receptacle testing program shall be conducted. Each receptacle shall be tested at least annually. Defective receptacles shall be replaced. The Following slides describe what shall be verified:

  19. The physical integrity (NOT CRACKED OR BROKEN) for each receptacle shall be confirmed by visual inspection.

  20. The continuity of the grounding circuit in each receptacle shall be verified.

  21. Correct polarity of the hot, neutral and grounding connections in each electrical receptacle shall be confirmed.

  22. OPEN NEUTRAL

  23. HOT & GROUND REVERSED

  24. OPENGROUND

  25. CORRECT

  26. The retention force of each connection (hot, neutral and grounding) of each receptacle (except locking type receptacles) shall not be LESS than four ounces.

  27. A record shall be maintained for electrical inspections. Each receptacle need NOT be listed. Areas specific to the inspection should be noted (e.g., Building 1405, 2ud deck). List discrepancies and abatement action.

  28. GFCI receptacles shall be tested. Both receptacles of a duplex GFCI receptacle shall be tested.

  29. A program of regular (at least annually) inspection of electrical equipment including receptacles to detect and correct unsafe conditions in all buildings, barracks, etc.

  30. Equipment will be checked for grounding, loose wiring, frayed cords, intact grounding pin and equipment damage. Electrical equipment used around swimming pools shall be checked daily prior to use.

  31. Installations and changes to electrical wiring, fittings, attachments, or other electrical appliances shall be made by qualified personnel.

  32. Defective electric cords, lighting fixtures, appliances, receptacles and switches shall be reported immediately to the BMS and the command Safety Representative for corrective action.

  33. All electrical apparatus must bear the label of/or be listed by a testing/listing facility (i.e., Underwriters Laboratories or Factory Mutual).

  34. How about this for a SURGE PROTECTOR!

  35. Ungrounded extension cords (Zip cords) are not permitted.

  36. Locally prepared extension cords made with handy/junction boxes with knockouts are prohibited. Multi-receptacle adapters (octopus) are prohibited.
