Abstract :
The first edition of CSA Z462 (Workplace Electrical Safety) has been in place since being issued in December of 2008. Its seed document was basically NFPA 70E 2004. Both of these standards are presently technically aligned and have had great impact to the safety of electrical workers within their stakeholder groups. The 18th Annual IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshops will be held in Toronto Canada in January of 2011. It was felt that using the principles of CSA Z462 in Appendix “A” - “Aligning Implementation of this Standard with Occupational Health & Safety Management Standards” within a comprehensive and leading edge panel discussion would meet the Mission, Vision and Value statements of the Electrical Safety Workshops.
