CSA Z462 — Workplace Electrical Safety Public Review

Posted by on April 1, 2011 1 comment

CSA Z462 — Workplace Electrical Safety is now avail­able for pub­lic review on the CSA web site. This stan­dard is the Canadian imple­men­ta­tion of NFPA 70E and IEEE P1584, cov­er­ing elec­tro­cu­tion and arc-​​flash haz­ards in the workplace.

Public Review Draft of Z462-​​12

Because of the impor­tance of the Z462 Standard to the elec­tri­cal sec­tor, CSA staff have decided to set up the draft on the new On-​​line Public Review System. This sys­tem is inte­grated with sev­eral on-​​line social net­works and has been made avail­able to a wide inter­na­tional audi­ence. Automatic noti­fi­ca­tion will go out to all peo­ple and orga­ni­za­tions that have expressed inter­est in CSA’s elec­tri­cal stan­dards (thou­sands of stakeholders).

There are two major dif­fer­ences in the way this new on-​​line review sys­tem works:

1.       The reviewer must first reg­is­ter with the sys­tem to gain access to the draft stan­dards (name, affil­i­a­tion, coun­try, and e-​​mail address).

- the reviewer must have a valid e-​​mail address (identity)

2.       The doc­u­ment is only avail­able on-​​line (no down­load) and it is review­able only in pieces for com­ment­ing purposes.

- sim­i­lar to the mem­bers’ bal­lot com­ments, the sys­tem auto­mat­i­cally col­lects and sorts the com­ments by clause number.

Note: the new review page is also acces­si­ble via a link located at the top of the old Review Page (https://​review​.csa​.ca/​o​p​r​/​o​p​r​_​l​i​s​t​.​asp) – iden­ti­fied as “New: …Electrical pub­lic review drafts”.

For more infor­ma­tion on this stan­dard, please con­tact the CSA Project Manager, Mr. Dave Shanahan, dave.shanahan@csa.ca, or call him at 1−800−463−6727.
