The Electrical
Safety Program Guide, 2E
Ray A. Jones, PE,
Jane G. Jones
A Complete Guide to Establishing an
Electrical Safety Program
Working with
electricity can be very dangerous, and employees might be unaware of
the potential hazards present in their work environment, making them
susceptible to risk of injury. To prevent occupational injuries from
occurring, employers must possess the knowledge required to set in
place a program that promotes safety in the workplace.
In this
completely updated guide, electrical safety experts Ray A. Jones and
Jane G. Jones provide a detailed blueprint to help employers develop
a program that maximizes electrical safety and the related benefits
it generates.
Based on the
2009 NFPA 70E® and current
OSHA regulations,
The Electrical Safety Program Guide, Second Edition,
takes readers step-by-step through the creation of an electrical
safety program, discussing program development from conception
through finalization for a plan tailored to a company’s unique
environment.
A new chapter
provides guidelines for when work on energized conductors should be
permitted, including an extensive discussion of “infeasibility,” as
used by OSHA and NFPA 70E.
The
Second Edition explores the full range of
issues involved in developing a comprehensive electrical safety
program and provides guidance and resources to resolve them.
Extensive appendices include a wealth of practical and time-saving
tools such as checklists, sample budgets, a personal protective
equipment matrix, and permits, as well as an all new appendix
addressing how to safely test for absence of voltage.
A
CD-ROM is included and contains
all checklists and forms from the book, an awareness-training
program, and a draft sample program that can be used as the
beginning point for a company to develop its own comprehensive
electrical safety program.

About the Authors:
Ray A. Jones, PE
Industrial electrical safety has become a passion for Ray and Jane
Jones. As a professional electrical engineer, Ray came to understand
that electrical safety processes associate with people are more
important than those associate with installations and equipment. He
and Jane spend their time communicating that message.
A User's Guide to
Electrical PPE is their fifth book on electrical safety.
Ray has served on several national consensus committees and
panels and chairs the NFPA 70E
Technical Committee. He has authored many published articles in
industry journals and has presented numerous papers and tutorials at
technical conferences, all focused on electrical safety issues. Ray
retired from DuPont after 35 years of service working with
industrial electrical systems and installations.
Jane G. Jones is an editor,
author, and technical writer. She has authored and edited numerous
technical journal articles and has been the technical writer for
various codes and standards associated with electrical safety
