NFPA 70E®.
Specific topics include electrical safety
culture, hazard awareness, lockout/tagout, justification and
assessment of working in hazardous conditions, calculation of
short-circuit currents, arc flash hazard analysis methods, PPE,
equipment maintenance, and design considerations.
Chapters explore calculations required to
comply with NFPA 70E, and techniques that can be
applied to significantly reduce or eliminate electrical hazards.
Each chapter includes one
real-life case study and recommendations for how these incidents
could have been avoided.
A must for electrical safety professionals,
instructors, electrical workers, and contractors.
