Electrical

Shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast are responsible for one fatality every workday in the U.S., and some 8,000 workers are treated in emergency rooms for electrical contact injuries each year. Now NFPA 70E–the Standard developed for OSHA–is revised to address safety gaps and increase electrical worker protection, while helping companies comply with OSHA 1910 Subpart S and OSHA 1926 Subpart K. Major changes recognize new hazards and address safety gaps. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) protects personnel and can significantly reduce the risk of injury in an arc flash. To help electrical engineers calculate incident energy–the vital first step in determining the correct type of PPE for a given task–revised Annex D consolidates all equations, adds new tables, and offers more options to detailed calculations.

Keep pace with the most current information and requirements of lightning installation for safer and more effective systems. An industry benchmark document for lightning safety for over a century, NFPA 780, Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems, provides a comprehensive resource for helping to safeguard lives and property from fire and related dangers associated with lightning events
It includes detailed provisions of protection methods, devices, and safety challenges in lightning protection systems. NFPA 780 also delivers a flexible approach to providing applicable safety protocols for lightning hazards based on the use of the building or structure. From work requirements and informative annexes to illustrated figures and updated definitions, this essential standard is perfect for facility managers, installers, inspectors, and authorities having jurisdiction.
