NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace 2018

 Access the information you need to prepare for the challenges of the modern electrical workplace. NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, is the quintessential resource for helping companies and employees reduce exposure to risks and reduce occupational injuries and fatalities. It was created to provide a document that meets the need of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and is entirely consistent with NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, and other applicable publications. Get expert information on subjects ranging from safety-related work practices to special equipment and maintenance requirements.

• Updates to help users reduce the risk of electrical injuries and fatalities on the job
• Revised rules and Annex F clearly differentiate between “risk assessment” and “hazard identification”
• Added text explains when the energized work permit (EWP) is required and what it should contain
• New shock protection boundary, hazard/risk table, and incident energy calculation for direct current systems
• Revised Article 320 focuses on safe work practices for stationary batteries and battery rooms, such as those used by alternative energy systems
