- Project managers shall coordinate access to electrical systems, work scheduling, pre-planning for power outages in a building, and coordination of safety requirements between contractors/subcontractors and university personnel, where appropriate.
- Contractors shall coordinate requests for shutdowns and/or power outages with the university project manager, the department affected, and the Division of Campus Planning, Infrastructure, and Facilities, as appropriate.
- At least a two-week notice shall be provided for shutdowns/outages affecting a building or department so that temporary power, work schedules, or other necessary arrangements can be made to minimize the interruption of departmental activities and ensure the safety of personnel performing the electrical work.
- Contractors shall establish a Limited Approach Boundary to protect unqualified or unauthorized personnel when energized electrical equipment or components greater than 50 volts will be exposed in occupied buildings.
