The
2018
NFPA 70E® Handbook is your comprehensive source for
knowledge about NFPA 70E, electrical safety, and
compliance.
Don't go it alone! Apply
NFPA 70E® correctly and reduce your
exposure to electrical hazards using the full-color NFPA 70E
Handbook as your guide.
Working around electricity can be deadly. Understand how
NFPA 70E is the key to ensuring an
electrically safe working area using NFPA 70E Handbook for
Electrical Safety in the Workplace®. Loaded with commentary and
art, this comprehensive full-color resource helps you assess risks,
determine hazards, select PPE,
and use proven electrical safety-related work practices. If you're a
manager or business owner, the Handbook helps you reduce the
potential for significant liabilities involving loss of life,
serious injuries, and damage to equipment due to electrical hazards.
Everyone who works on or
near electrical equipment, or who supervises someone who does, needs
the life-saving guidance in the NFPA 70E Handbook.
Many workers are unaware of how using NFPA 70E: Standard for
Electrical Safety in the Workplace reduces their risks to electrical
hazards. This Standard is not only important, it helps companies
comply with OSHA 1910 Subpart S and OSHA 1926 Subpart K. Revised to
reflect the latest edition of NFPA 70E, the new NFPA 70E Handbook
offers explanations and advice to help you interpret the Standard
and make the right decisions every day on the job.
OSHA is the "what" and NFPA 70E is the "how." The 2018 edition NFPA
70E Handbook provides the "whys" and the support you need.
-
The Handbook includes
the entire 2018 NFPA 70E text plus
exclusive commentary
that explains requirements and their intent, breaks down
tasks, and addresses different equipment and scenarios.
- Commentary is also
provided on major updates, such as the modified arc flash
hazard identification table [Table 130.7(C)(15)(A)(a)] that
makes it easier to determine the likelihood that an arc flash
could occur, and key changes to Article 320 that introduce
voltage thresholds of 100 Vdc specifically for batteries and
battery rooms.
- More than 150
full-color photos, charts, and illustrations bring safety
concepts to life -- invaluable on the job and for worker
training.
- Summary of
Technical Changes at the beginning of the Handbook
highlights revisions in the 2018 edition.
- Supplements include a
list of requirement headings from the
2017 NEC® that directly impact
the implementation of safety-related work practices, extracted
material from NFPA 70B: Recommended
Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance on electrical
equipment maintenance, and guidance in writing a safety
procedure.
-
New to this edition is the "OSHA Connection"
feature, which shows how OSHA's electrical safety standards
correspond with certain NFPA 70E requirements.
-
Also new for 2018 is the
"Worker Alert" feature, which highlights crucial electrical
safety information specifically for the employee.
Avoid tragedies with
electrical safety answers in the NFPA 70E Handbook.
