1.1 Pre Job Briefs
How many employees have to be on a job site to have a documented pre job brief?
What is 2
Does grounding while climbing require a DO?
What is No.
No—see work method 4.1.
If we do not encroach the MAD of primary conductors or equipment energized above 600 V, a DO would not be needed unless the skill level warranted the need for a DO (OJT).
If I am using the pin-on bucket to install grounds on the de-energized primary, can I be within 10 feet to apply TPGs without grounding the non-insulated vehicle?
What is No, the non-insulated mobile equipment cannot be operated within 10 feet of ungrounded primary lines or equipment above 600 V until the non-insulated equipment has been properly grounded. See WM 4.2.8.
It is necessary to document the details of the Take 10 Daily Briefing Discussion, True of False?
What is False
Is a DO required when switching UG primary cable in a dead-front transformer?
What is No
No, because you would not be within the MAD of conductors or equipment energized above 600 V.
If the line is grounded and the line truck is barricaded, do I still have to have pole guards or rubber goods when setting the pole?
What is No, you don’t need any of them.
Does the EIC have to be qualified per your progression guidelines to perform all task involved in the assigned work?
What is Yes.
Can the DO be the person operating the line truck?
What is No
No, the DO must remain solely focused on observing the task being performed.
Do you ground the line truck if the OH line is De energized and grounded?
What is NO
Do you have to include the Supervisors phone number on every prejob brief?
What is Yes
What are two most common requirements when a DO must be assigned?
What is working on voltage above 600volts, and when equipment is operated with 10 of energized primary conductors or equipment.
Do you have to ground the line truck if you are working on a secondary pole that only has a 120/240 volt service?
What is no
There is no requirement to ground the vehicle or mobile equipment when working outside of a substation; however, you must ensure ALL the following:
• The job briefing should include any special precautions related to working around ungrounded non-insulated equipment.
• If contact can be made with a non-insulated section of mobile equipment, all ungrounded conductors are covered with properly rated insulating equipment.
• To work from the pin-on aerial bucket, extend the insulated boom section past the minimum extension indicator/placard with the winch line removed and the pole claws pinned to the 2nd stage.
If you have to do a hard copy of a prejob brief, how many days should that copy be kept?
What is 90 days
Is a DO required for hooking up a secondary/service in a dead-front transformer.
No, a DO would not be needed because there would be no encroachment on the MAD of conductors or equipment energized above 600 V.
