Both OSHA 1910 - Environmental Health and Safety
OSHA 1910.269, NFPA 70E, and your Safety Manual require that a “job briefing” be conducted with employees prior to the start of each job. The briefing must cover at least the following topics:
✓ Hazards associated with the job to be performed
o Work near energized electrical? Voltage levels involved?
o Secondary (foreign) voltage sources or backfeed possible?
o Unusual work conditions (adverse weather conditions)?
o Shock protection boundaries?
o Potential for arc flash (flash-hazard analysis)?
o Flash protection boundaries?
o Confined space? Excavation/trench?
o Traffic control?
o Hazardous materials (asbestos, lead, chemicals)?
✓ Work procedures involved
o De-energization?
o Standby person needed? First aid/CPR certified?
o Job plans, diagrams, blueprints, vendor information?
o Notification of others?
o Who is in charge?
o Voltage testing?
o Grounding?
o Line clearing/tree trimming?
o Barriers and barricades?
o Boom truck or aerial lift?
✓ Special precautions that need to be taken
o Communication equipment
o Insulated tools and equipment
o Other
✓ Energy source controls
o Lock
o Tag
o Clearance procedures
✓ Personal protective equipment requirements
o Fall protection
o Hard hat with chin strap
o Gloves/sleeves (voltage-rated, leather, chemical, thermal, etc.)
o Steel-toed footwear
o Hearing protection
o Respirator
o Reflectorized vest (flagging traffic)
o Safety glasses or goggles
o Face shield and safety glasses
o Cut-resistant chaps (chainsaws)
o Arc flash protective equipment
If the work performed during the work day/shift is repetitive and similar, at least one job briefing must be conducted before the start of the first job of each day/shift. If significant changes occur during the day that would affect employee safety, additional briefings must be held.
The briefing may be brief if the work involved is routine and if the employee can be expected (by virtue of training and experience) to recognize and avoid the hazards involved. (When an employee is working alone, a job briefing does not need to be conducted; however, work must be planned as if a briefing was required.)
If the work is complicated or particularly hazardous, or if the employee cannot be expected to recognize and avoid the hazards involved, a more extensive discussion should be conducted.
