NFPA 70E
Standard
for Electrical Safety in the Workplace,
2018 Ed.
Keep the workplace safe from electrical hazards using the 2018
edition of NFPA 70E®
In a fraction of a second, an
electrical incident can claim lives and cause permanently disabling
injuries. In fact, hundreds of deaths and thousands of burn injuries
occur each year due to shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc
blast -- and most could be prevented through compliance with NFPA
70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace®.
Originally developed at OSHA's request, NFPA 70E responds to
the latest information about the effects of arc flash, arc blast,
and direct current (dc) hazards, and recent developments in
electrical design and
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). It provides vital
information that helps you comply with OSHA 1910 Subpart S and OSHA
1926 Subpart K.
Make sure everyone goes home at night. New NFPA 70E
explicitly states that the first priority must be the elimination of
the hazard.
The Standard continues to evolve to address risk assessment and
introduces human factors, such as human error, as part of that
assessment. Annex Q, Human Performance and Workplace Electrical
Safety, is included to provide guidance. NFPA 70E emphasizes
the need to use the hierarchy of risk controls, by moving it from an
informational note into the text of the Standard. NFPA 70E
now explicitly states that the first priority must be the
elimination of the hazard.
Other changes in this edition:
-
A modified arc flash hazard
identification table [Table 130.7(C)(15)(A)(a)] makes it easier
to determine the likelihood that an arc flash could occur.
-
Reorganized Article 120
presents the requirements for establishing an electrically safe
work condition in a logical order of application of the program.
-
Changes to Article 320
introduce voltage thresholds of 100 Vdc specifically for
batteries and battery rooms to cover the unique situations in
these locations.
-
Extensively revised, Article
330 on lasers now focuses on safety-related maintenance issues
rather than issues associated with laser use.
-
Article 350 introduces an
Electrical Safety Authority as a possible authority having
jurisdiction for laboratories.
Bring your company's electrical
safety program up-to-date and give employees critical knowledge.
If you're responsible for ensuring workers are protected from shock
and arc flash hazards, use the 2018 edition of NFPA 70E along
with NFPA 70®: National Electrical
Code® (NEC®) and NFPA 70B: Electrical Equipment Maintenance.
Together, the "Big Three" help you protect your personnel and your
company from tragic loss.
NFPA 70E
is a vital tool for contractors, risk managers, engineers,
building managers, owners, and everyone concerned with ending
electrical-related accidents, liability, and loss.
