Section 1. INTRODUCTION
Scope. This handbook is directed to the safety concerns of operators,
1.1
electricians, and supervisors who perform and supervise operation and maintenance work on
electrical transmission and distribution systems. This handbook is for guidance only. This
handbook cannot be cited as a requirement. If it is, the Contractor does not have to comply.
Cancellation. This handbook cancels and supersedes NAVFAC P-1060,
1.2
Electrical Transmission and Distribution Safety Manual, of July 1990.
Handbook Presentation. This handbook presents safety concerns in two ways.
1.3
1.3.1 Tabular Method. Worker concerns dealing with safe and unsafe practices both
to general hazards and electrical hazards applying to de-energized and energized line work are
considered best covered by summarizing them as tabular lists or rules. The tables remind the
worker of general actions that apply to the normal conduct of electrical service work and are
intended to indicate necessary instructions in a simplified manner or standard operating
procedures (SOP's).
1.3.2 Nontabular Method. Worker concerns dealing with safe and unsafe practices on
the specific hazards applying to the type and location of equipment and lines (such as substations
and aerial and underground systems) are considered best covered by providing expanded
instructions. Instructions are intended to clarify facilities SOP's or to provide a basis for
generating a job hazard analysis (JHA).
1.3.3 Warnings, Cautions, and Notes. The following definitions apply to
"Warnings," "Cautions," and "Notes" found throughout the handbook.
WARNING
An operating procedure, practice, or condition, etc., that may result in
injury or death if not carefully observed or followed.
CAUTION
An operating procedure, practice, or condition, etc., that may result in
damage to equipment if not carefully observed or followed.
Note
An operating procedure, practice, or condition, etc., that is essential to
emphasize.
