3.0 Responsibility
Unit Head / Regional managers:
Unit heads / Regional managers have overall responsibility for health and safety management and role
includes:
 Planning and scheduling of activities with a view to execute the project
 Identify significant health and safety and eliminate or minimize them
 Maintaining all legal and statutory requirement
 Assist the safety team to conduct the safety training and audit at sites
 Ensure all safety rules and regulations are followed at work sites

Site Engineers:
Site engineers are responsible for all aspects of health and safety on site and are accountable to the Unit
head / Regional manager. Their roles include:
 Report any issue affecting health and safety issues at the work sites to the regional manager / unit
head / safety team
 Coordinate with end customer / client for the taking work permit and returning work permit
 Communicating the work content / hazard involved to working group through the medium of
Toolbox meeting before commencement of work every day
 Initiating proactive measures to minimize / eliminate accidents
 Reporting in detail in the event of incident
 Ensure effective use of appropriate PPE
 Ensure the quality of job at all times without any compromise on safety
 “Stop Work” in the event of any serious safety violation

OPERATIONAL CONTROL PROCEDURE
OCP NO: 02
Safety Manger / Regional Safety Engineers:
Safety manger / Regional safety engineers are responsible for providing health and safety advice and
guidance to their Unit head/ Regional manager, site engineers and their roles include:
 Ensuring implementation of all instruction and procedures based on the occupational health and
safety
 Communicating all safety rules, regulations and practices to all site engineers / regional manager/
unit head
 Follow up for the closure of audit non conformances and help regional mangers / unit head to take
corrective action and preventive action
 Report and investigate all the incidents / Near misses to the top management
 Create awareness amongst site engineers / regional managers and also organize the regular training
program.
 Ensure that Tool box talk meetings are in being conducted daily at site and the workers are aware of
all the hazards at the work site
 Ensure adequate PPE’s and safety equipment as are required are available at sites and are being
used at site appropriately
 Reporting of any issues affecting the health and safety at the work site to the unit head / Regional
managers
 Ensure basic first aid facilities are available at sites
 Ensure that no unsafe act is performed at any site
 Ensuring that any unsafe condition observed at site is eradicated at the earliest
 Issuing of safety challans in the event of any safety violations.

4.0 Working Activity and descriptions

4.1 Pre-Testing Checks

OPERATIONAL CONTROL PROCEDURE
OCP NO: 02
Insulation Resistance(IR) Test

 Connect the Megger earth lead with earth and connect Positive lead with CVT primary side
 Connect the positive lead to primary and earth lead to secondary each core
 Connect the positive lead to core and earth lead to earth
 Connect the positive lead to any core and earth lead to another core if applicable
 Select the required voltage range in megger and apply the voltage to the CVT
 Note the IR values from Megger
 Discharge the voltage from the CVT with respect to earth.

Polarity test

 Connect the primary P1 terminal to galvanometer positive terminal and P2 to the negative
terminal
 Touch the battery positive terminal to S1 in and negative terminal to the S2 terminal at the CVT
secondary winding Terminals
 Check the deflection in the galvanometer
 It must be in clock-wise direction

Ratio test

 Connect the variac and step-up transformer

 Connect the step-up transformer across the primary terminals(P1,P2)
 Connect the variac in A.C supply extension board with ELCB rated with 30 mA
 Inject the voltage across the primary terminals.
 Note down the corresponding secondary voltage at various cores.
 Switch off the supply to the primary injection kit

Winding resistance test

 Connect the multimeter leads to the CVT secondary winding Terminals

 Note down the winding resistance value
 Repeat the above procedure for remaining cores

Continuity test

 Connect the multimeter leads to the CVT secondary winding Terminals

 Observe the beep sound in multimeter
 Repeat the above procedure for remaining cores

4.4 Control Measures

 OCP for IR and Ratio test for CVT is available with testing engineers
 Ensure PTW system in place for the particular bay
 Ensure all supply to the equipment is dead
 Unauthorized persons should not be allowed to enter Testing area
 Barricade the testing area with warning tape
 Proper supervision, conduct job specific toolbox meeting and barricading the entire area
 Calibrated equipment shall be used
 Insulated hand tools shall be used
 Avoid joints for power cable and supply has to be taken via ELCB
 Avoid Lone working
 Use appropriate insulated hand gloves

5.0 Final Checks & Restoration of work area after completion of work:

 Disconnect the temporary supply and remove the barricading tapes

 Ensure no loose materials / tools are kept in and around the area
 Leave the place by keeping it tidy and clean
