Electrical safety procedures in OSHA refer to safety measures regarding?

The focus of electrical safety procedures as outlined by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) centers around hazardous energy control, primarily to protect workers from electrocution, shock, fire, and arc flash hazards. Hazardous energy control involves implementing lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures that ensure that electrical equipment is properly shut off and unable to be started up again prior to the completion of maintenance or servicing work. This procedure reduces the risk of unintentionally energizing equipment, which can lead to severe injuries or fatalities.

In contrast, while waste disposal, structural integrity, and environmental impact are important aspects of overall safety and risk management in various industries, they do not specifically relate to the direct electrical safety measures emphasized by OSHA. Each of these other options addresses different facets of workplace safety management but is not directly tied to the protocols designed for controlling hazardous energy in electrical systems.
