New management instruction (MI) EL-810-2009-1, Electrical Work Plan, is now available. This MI provides instructions to the field for developing an electrical work plan (EWP). This plan is required for Postal Service™ facilities in which employees may be exposed to energized electrical circuits while performing maintenance work on mail-processing and building equipment. The EWP documents the requirements necessary to ensure that Postal Service employees who perform such work are protected from serious incidents and injuries.
This MI applies to electrical work performed during the installation, operation, maintenance, modification, repair, and servicing of new or existing electrical equipment that is permanently or temporarily installed in Postal Service facilities.
MI EL-810-2009-1 is available on the Postal Service PolicyNet website:
