One VPP Site on Arc Flash
An outside contractor conducted an evaluation in 2008 to determine hazard categories related to NFPA 70E.
Ninety percent of the electrical panels are rated at Category 0. Signs have been posted on the panels, listing the protection boundaries, PPE, arc
flash category, etc. Some of the electrical equipment is rated at Category 1 and 2. The switchgear is
rated at Category 3, but this is only accessed by the utility company. According to the VPP site, their employees would only be exposed to Category 0
equipment. No employees are not allowed to work on live equipment, but would perform testing
to ensure the power was off. The employees are provided with electrical-rated gloves and PPE. Insulated tools
are available. Electrical contractors working on Category 1 and/or Category 2 equipment would be
required to wear appropriate PPE. If the contractor works on live electrical equipment, the contractor must complete an
electrical permit, at which time, safety procedures/requirements would be reviewed.

Problem
Over a hundred boiler explosions and fires in the last ten years.
These are pressure vessels.
People assigned to operate and maintain the boilers have little or no boiler safety training.

Some basics on working with machinery In the case of Michele Dufault’s death, OSHA “told
Yale the lathe lacked required safeguards and that the school's policies and practices for its operation were unsafe.”
Guarding protects workers from “hazards such as those created by point of operation, ingoing nip points, rotating parts, flying chips and sparks,” and these guards are an obligation of the employer to the worker - 1910.212(a)(1)

Small Explosion at UConn Research Lab Sep 27, 2011A small chemical explosion in a research
building laboratory has left one person with minor injuries.
The incident happened at about 2:45 p.m. Tuesday at the Cell and Genome Sciences Building, which is across the street from the health center's main campus in Farmington. The building has been evacuated as a precaution and it's not clear when it will reopen.
What is the training of lab personnel?
