Avoid Costly Accidents with
the 2009 NFPA 70E®
Electrical work can be dangerous – that's why you need the 2009
NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace®. This electrical safety resource covers everything you should know about
electrical safety in the workplace and how to provide successful
industrial safety training. Learn about OSHA requirements and how NFPA 70E tells you to meet them and keep your personnel safe on the job!
OSHA approached NFPA to develop
NFPA 70E standards that tell workers how to meet the OSHA electrical safety in the workplace requirements. NFPA is the only publisher of this electrical safety standard, and that's why you can't afford not to have it.
NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace® includes the following updated features:
- A new requirement for Fire Rated clothing for H/R Category 1 precludes the use of cotton clothing. This change reduces the risks for second-degree thermal burns.
- An expanded Table in Article 130 covers added tasks such as thermographic imaging, and new equipment including arc-resistant switchgear.
- Added Article 350 provides first-time requirements for the protection of electrical personnel in R&D labs.
- A new exception verifies that 240 V and less power systems fed by a single transformer less than 125 kvs no longer require an arc flash hazard analysis.
- Expanded requirements for multi-employer relationships address potential areas of oversight, and improves contractor communication about electrical hazards.
- New recordkeeping requirements for training and safety program audits answer OSHA's need for records and ensure data is available when you need it.
And when you want to learn how to apply the requirements in
NFPA 70E, the
NFPA 70E Handbook for Electrical Safety in the Workplace can help. You will not have to take unnecessary risks after you read the valuable commentary and comprehend
NFPA 70E principles with the easy-to-read illustrations and photographs. This is the definitive resource to help you grasp and apply the
NFPA 70E electrical safety standards.
