The Electrical Safety Program Book
provides the detailed blueprint to help you develop a program that
maximizes electrical safety--and the related benefits it generates.
Written by experts in the field of electrical
safety and based on the 2004 NFPA
70EŽ and OSHA rules, this manual will help you make
safety an integral part of your business.
Learn how to convert OSHA regulations into an
effective working plan. Arranged in a logical order, this book
explores the full range of operational and administrative issues
involved in developing an electrical safety program and provides
guidance and resources to resolve them.

About the Authors
About the Authors:
Kenneth G. Mastrullo
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
