OSHA bases
its electrical safety mandates on NFPA 70E®: Standard for
Electrical Safety in the Workplace®. Prevent accidents and
comply!
Avoid accidents and OSHA fines with
the 2009 NFPA 70E®: Standard for Electrical Safety in the
Workplace®!
Shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast
are responsible for hundreds of worker deaths and thousands of
injuries per year in the U.S. alone. Save lives with NFPA 70E:
Electrical Safety in the Workplace, the Standard developed for
OSHA that details the "hows" behind compliance with OSHA 1910
Subpart S and OSHA 1926 Subpart K.
The 2009 edition is revised to
recognize new hazards and increase safety on the job.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) protects
personnel and can significantly reduce the risk of injury in an arc
flash. To help engineers calculate incident energy--the first step
in determining the correct type of PPE for a given task—a new Annex
D in the 2009 NFPA 70E consolidates all equations, adds new
tables, and offers more options to detailed calculations. For
example, a new utility table derived from the NEC helps utility and
industrial plant workers calculate PPE based on voltage and fault
current data.
Improved work practices reduce risks:
- 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.
Other changes
expand your know-how:
- Easy-to-see shading
identifies new or revised Standard text.
- Annex F clarifies the Hazard/Risk
evaluation procedure and provides sample worksheets.
- A flow chart in Annex J
helps users determine the need for an Energized Electrical Work
Permit.
- Annex M helps workers and
supervisors evaluate layering of PPE.
- Annex N explains safe work
practices near overhead and underground lines.
Engineers, designers, risk managers,
maintainers, safety directors, contractors, and owners need the
2009 NFPA 70E to improve worker safety and avoid
citations, rising insurance fees, and increased workman's comp
costs
