I work at a large college repairing & maintaining energy management/building automation systems.I am a licensed electrician.Our union has a safety committee which meets once a month about safety concerns,policy etc.One of the areas I have brought up is the starting of mechanical systems remotely through our computer front end.I have requested that we label every piece of equipment that can be started "remotely".I know that lock out tag out should be used but also know that with so many workers and outside contractors this doesn't always happen.We are also suppose to notify the operators monitoring our front end(24 hr/365).Again this doesn't always happen.The college is very opposed to this.What do others think?I have checked the NEC to see if there was anything about this and can't seem to find anything on this,maybe I'm missing something??Anyways any suggestions
would be helpful.Thanks,Carmyn
