3. Workshop 1 DC Systems Leads Gary Dreifuerst, ex LLNL
Stan Berry, ex Navy
Alan Tatum, current ORNL
Peter McNutt, NREL

4. Workshop 1 DC Systems Leads – Gary Dreifuerst, et. al.
Description – This working group focused on the hazards of DC and DC systems, including batteries, capacitors, power supplies, inductors, etc.. The hazards included DC shock, thermal, and arc flash electrical hazards. Discussion included reviews of recent DC publications and presentations on DC arc flash, of DC arc flash calculation methods, and of recent arc flash testing data.

5. Workshop 2 Hazardous Energy Control
Stephanie Collins, LBNL
Sam Garcia, LANL
Greg Christensen, INL
Lucille Roybal, SNL

6. Workshop 2 Hazardous Energy Control
Stephanie Collins, LBNL; Sam Garcia, LANL
Description –The Hazardous Energy Control group reviewed LOTO type electrical incidents over the past two years and determined common causes. A focus on zero voltage verification, including instruments, test before/after, test each conductor to each other and to ground, proximity testers, etc.
Proposed Best Practice – Methods to assure a good LOTO program including training, documentation, process, and audits.

7. Workshop 3 Electrical Safety, Medium Voltage & Subcontractors
Eva Clark, SNL
Thomas Nehring, BNL
Mark Scott, LBNL
Paul Swyers, LLNL
Jeff Williams, NNSA, Los Alamos

8. Workshop 3 Medium Voltage and Subcontractors
Lead: Jeff Williams
Description – Review three recent medium voltage incidents. Review subcontractor incidents
Proposed Deliverable – Medium voltage work, NESC vs NFPA 70E, subcontractor oversight

9. Workshop 4 AHJ Issues Mark Matthews, ORNL David Mertz, Fermi
Jackie Mirabal, LANL
Eugene Ormand, SNL
Eric Stromberg, LANL

10. Workshop 4 AHJ Issues
Leads – Jackie Mirabal-Martinez, Mark Matthews, etc.
Description – This working group may address a number of topics relative to local electrical AHJs at various sites, and how we can share methods and/or converge to a consistent process. Topics primarily settled on interlab transfer of equipment approval, a common approach to equipment approval, how the electrical AHJ is conferred to a site’s contractor, and how we can share processes among sites.
Proposed Best Practice – A summary comparison of site electrical AHJs and their processes, and how site AHJs can work together to achieve common goals.

11. Workshop 5 Risk Assessment
Tommy Martinez, LANL
Daniel Roberts, NFPA 70E
James Jurney, LANL
John Lacernere, PPPL
Jim Wright, BNL
