High-voltage work rules, arc flash, and the standards that keep linemen alive.
Electric power generation, T&D, and water/wastewater utilities operate under some of the most specific safety standards in the code. Cairn maps applicable rules to your work types and surfaces the directives that govern minimum approach distance, FR/AR clothing, and switching procedures.
The standards your inspector will open first.
| Standard | Title | Enforcement frequency |
|---|---|---|
| 29 CFR 1910.269 | Electric power generation, transmission, and distribution | Most cited |
| 29 CFR 1910.147 | Lockout/Tagout | Heavily cited |
| 29 CFR 1910.146 | Permit-required confined spaces | Heavily cited |
| 29 CFR 1910.132 | PPE — General | Frequently cited |
| 29 CFR 1910.335 | Safeguards for personnel protection | Frequently cited |
The compliance questions that won't go away.
Cairn is built around the compliance questions that keep safety directors up at night.
- Minimum approach distance calculation and crew briefing
- FR/AR clothing program and arc-flash incident-energy analysis
- Switching and tagging procedures across IOU and muni operations
- Confined-space entry into vaults, manholes, and digesters
- Storm-restoration mutual-aid crew qualifications
"What's the minimum approach distance for 480V switching at a substation under the current rules?"
Plays that pay back the subscription.
Apprentice training
Generate role-specific training grounded in the actual citations recent linemen apprentices have triggered.
Storm-response prep
Verify mutual-aid crew qualifications against current electric power training requirements.
PSM-style audits
Treat your generation assets the way chemical operators treat PSM, with cited evidence behind each program element.
