New UW Electrical Safety Manual

 

Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) published the new UW Electrical Safety Manual that establishes the requirements and best practices for University personnel conducting work on electrical systems between 50 to 600 volts (V).

University personnel and students who:

  • Are designated to perform work on, or near, energized electrical circuits and components; or
  • Operate, maintain, and repair electrical equipment and systems; or
  • Design, construct, install, and use electrical equipment or systems in research and development are required to follow the UW Electrical Safety Manual.

The safety manual also includes training recommendations and requirements for personnel who may perform work on, or near, energized electrical circuits and components. Personnel may register for these trainings on the EH&S Training page.
