1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this access procedure is to clearly identify the approvals, training and PPE requirements that will allow personnel to enter switch rooms and substation switch-houses designated for “Authorized Personnel Only” and safely perform certain tasks.
2.0 APPLICATION
This procedure, applies at any Vale locations indicated with approval on the cover page. In order to optimize available resources and thus lower operating costs, Vale non-electrical and qualified contractor personnel may be permitted into switch rooms and substation switch-houses to perform tasks such as switching, tagging, resetting, and other tasks. The procedure is not intended to create “free access” inside any known areas of increased electrical hazard. 2.1 EXCEPTIONS
This procedure does not apply to “precipitator switch rooms”.

4.0 COMMITMENTS
The Switch Room and Substation Access Procedure is committed to comply with the following:
Vale HomeSafe Program
The Collective Bargaining Agreement
5.0 DEFINITIONS
Substation1: A substation is a fenced-in area owned by the Vale Power Department or jointly by the Power Department and the plant’s electrical department; that is used to transform 44-69 kilovolt (kV) power to the lower voltage levels for distribution by the plants and mines. The fenced-in area is locked using a RACO key and adequate signage exists to remind personnel to contact the systems operator upon entry. Switch Room (can be referred to as junction box room underground): A room or fenced-in area owned by the plant’s electrical department used to transform power levels and distribute power to other areas and feed specific pieces of equipment. Adequate signage exists to warn of danger – the highest possible voltage inside, and that entry is for authorized personnel only. In an underground environment, the entry to a switch room may consist of a chain or other barrier having appropriate signage on it. Open Bus Switch Room2: If the switch room contains any exposed voltages in excess of 50 volts (V) (CSA-Z462-15, 4.3.4.4), it is considered to be an open bus switch room, and subject to stricter requirements due to the increased electrical shock hazard. Once the “open bus” in a switch room has been removed or guarded, it is no longer considered “open bus”.
1 Some substations can be accessed by the medium voltage switch house without the use of the RACO key, but rather by using the
plant’s electrical switch room key. 2 All outdoor fenced-in substations are considered to be “open bus” and fall under the Power Department’s electrical authority
jurisdiction.

Qualified: One who has demonstrated skills and knowledge related to electrical equipment and installations and has received safety training to identify and avoid hazards involved. Precipitator Switch Room: If the switch room allows precipitator operators to isolate dampers and 600-V power in order to perform static high voltage switching and grounding of the precipitators’ internal structure and external TR (transformer-rectifier) set, then it is exempted from this policy. The precipitator operators will continue to own and manage these switch rooms.
6.0 IMPLEMENTING THE PROCEDURE
Implementing the steps in this procedure will ensure that personnel are informed and instructed in all known hazards associated with specific tasks so risks can be managed. Hazard information must be disclosed before issuing a switch room device permit to help personnel manage the risks to as low as reasonably achievable. The plant or mine’s designated Electrical Authority plays a facilitating role in this access procedure and also assures its safe implementation. The designated Electrical Authority also has complete and final approval over the permits and may revoke these permits.
7.0 ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
The following roles and responsibilities are in effect to support and enforce the directives listed in this procedure. 7.1 ELECTRICAL AUTHORITY3
Facilitates and follows the approval process for all permit requests.
3 The designated electrical authority for the plant or mine must be a competent person with training and experience in the electrical field.

Tours personnel inside switch rooms and switch houses and observes their level of competence for the privileges assigned to them (or selects designate for this task).
Issues the “Switch Room Device Permit” (all copies).
Issues key(s) to the permitted individual.
Contacts permit holders at the end of their term to either extend the permit duration or reclaim the key(s).
Has complete and final approval over all permits and may revoke these permits.
The list of electrical authorities is maintained and can be located on the Vale > Sudbury > Electrical Maintenance and Power Systems Intranet site: http://intranet.valeglobal.net/na/Sudbury/en-us/engineering-maintenance/electrical-power/Documents/Electrical%20Authorities.pdf 7.2 PERMITTED INDIVIDUALS
Permitted individuals are responsible to:
Keep their required training current for the duration of the permit.
Follow plant specific rules.
Follow all restrictions and instructions as outlined on the permit and during the switch room orientation.
Keep a copy of the permit available at the worksite or implement a site specific method to easily verify who has been given privileges.
When escorting non-permitted individuals in the switch room, they must ensure that these individuals are working safely in accordance with the switch room rules and permit restrictions and instructions.
Ensure that the Vale, SHE Department’s Arc Flash PPE Protection Standard Procedure Instruction (in its most current version) is being followed by all individuals within the arc flash boundary. Those who cannot comply must not enter the boundary while the equipment is being interacted with.
Return key at the permit’s expiry date.
