OSHA bases
its electrical safety mandates on NFPA 70E®: Standard for
Electrical Safety in the Workplace®. Prevent accidents and
comply!
Electrical dangers such as shock,
electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast will always be present on
the job, but proper training and safety strategies can minimize the
likelihood of injuries and fatalities. NFPA 70E: Standard for
Electrical Safety in the Workplace covers the full range of
electrical safety issues, from work practices to maintenance,
special equipment requirements, and installation.
OSHA evaluates compliance with its
electrical safety regulations, OSHA 1910 Subpart S and
OSHA 1926 Subpart K, using the comprehensive information in
NFPA 70E. While OSHA tells you what to do to avoid
electrical dangers, this vital Standard tells you how.
Changes and updates in the 2004
edition help reduce risks and accidents:
- New requirement for a signed authorization
for energized electrical work
- New language concerning multi-employer
relationships requires all contractors on a project to be aware of
hazards, PPE, safe work practices, and emergency evacuation
procedures.
- Installation requirements correlate with
the 2002 National Electrical Code®.
- New and revised definitions clarify
electrical safety issues such as arc rating, incident energy, and
restricted approach boundary.
- Updated PPE requirements reflect the latest
technology.
Organized like the NEC®, this
edition's format and organization save time and help eliminate
errors!
- The discussion of Safety Related Work
Practices has been moved to Chapter 1, to emphasize the topic's
importance.
- Chapter 1 has been totally reorganized,
with all related provisions grouped together in logical
progression.
- Two cross-references let you easily compare
provisions in the 2004 and 2000 editions.
- New Annexes for a Sample Energized Work
Permit, General Categories of Electrical Hazards, and a Sample Job
Briefing Form, plus an updated Sample Arc Flash Calculations
Annex, help you work smarter.
Avoid costly accidents and meet OSHA mandates
by putting the
2004 NFPA 70E to work. (Softbound, 133 pp., 2004)
