Description
Large research facilities with continuously evolving electrical installations and many stakeholders often face significant challenges in implementing
electrical safety. The Electrical Safety Project at CERN aims to standardize the approach to these challenges across the accelerator complex. A key factor
for safe and well-documented operation is the clear definition, documentation, and discoverability of responsibilities and permissions associated with
electrical equipment. To achieve this, equipment and installation responsibilities are being systematically documented, supported by the development of
dedicated databases and tools. The key electrical powering chains, together with their operational and maintenance requirements, are captured in
agreement documents developed for broad stakeholder validation. Equipment is also being labelled on-site to enable straightforward retrieval of
associated information. This contribution presents the project’s progress on establishing operation and maintenance agreements, along with the
methodologies developed for managing electrical risk, including the representation of electrical dependencies within equipment databases and the
mechanisms for delegating activities between units
