Written for the hazards of the work
A general manual leaves these to you. This one has a practice, a procedure or a permit for each.
Limits of approach
Working inside an energized substation: approach boundaries, barriers, escorts, and cranes and long objects near live buswork.
Isolation and grounding
The client switches and issues the permit; your workers lock on, test for absence of voltage and ground before they touch.
Induced and trapped voltage
Grounds sized for the fault current, induced voltage from nearby lines, and the charge a winding holds after a DC test.
High-voltage testing
Test areas barriered with one way in, a person in charge of the test, and discharge and grounding between tests.
Oil, PCBs and spills
Hot oil under vacuum, static during transfer, PCB status of older units under the federal PCB Regulations, and spill clean-up.
Nitrogen and tank entry
A tank shipped under nitrogen kills in seconds: purge, test, permit, attendant and a rescue plan before anyone enters.
Heights and rigging
Tie-off on top of the transformer, oily surfaces, lift plans for bushings, radiators and the main tank.
Work away from home
Each province’s law where the crew is working, journey management, fatigue, working alone and remote emergencies.

Who it is for
Transformer service companies and the field service arms of transformer manufacturers and repair shops, and electrical testing and maintenance contractors whose work is mostly in substations: installation, commissioning, testing, oil processing, internal inspection, repairs, relocation and decommissioning.
Your clients are utilities, industrial plants, mines, oil sands operations and generating stations, wherever they are. Your crews work under their switching, permits and site rules, and under the law of the province or territory the job is in.
Questions
We work in every province. Do we need a manual for each one?
No. Your crews follow the law of the province or territory where they are working, so the manual sets your company’s rules once and section 15 sets out what each jurisdiction adds: reporting, first aid, committees, working alone, electrical rules and more, federal workplaces included. You would want a provincial manual only to follow one province’s COR audit to the letter.
Is it laid out for COR?
Yes, on the 14 national elements every harmonized COR audit shares, with all 74 documentation questions cross-referenced. Each province’s certifying partner uses its own audit tool, so check the manual against the one you are certifying with. No template can promise a pass.
Do the exposure control plans cover every province too?
Yes. Every plan comes in 14 editions, one for each province and territory and one for federal workplaces, each in English and French, all in one purchase.
Do you discount the manual and plans together?
Yes. Two or more templates in one order take the multi-template discount automatically at checkout: 10% off 2, 15% off 3, 20% off 4 or more.
Can you tailor it for us?
Yes. Our safety advisors can fit the manual to your equipment, your clients’ permit systems and the provinces you work in. Contact us at info@trustarsafety.com.
