OSHA
bases its electrical safety mandates on NFPA 70E™: Electrical Safety
in the Workplace™. Prevent accidents and comply!
Electrical
dangers such as shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast will
always be present on the job, but proper training and safety strategies
can minimize the likelihood of injuries and fatalities. NFPA 70E:
Electrical Safety in the Workplace covers the full range of electrical
safety issues, from work practices to maintenance, special equipment
requirements, and installation.
OSHA
evaluates compliance with its electrical safety regulations, OSHA 1910
Subpart S and OSHA 1926 Subpart K, using the comprehensive information
in NFPA 70E. While OSHA tells you what to do to avoid electrical
dangers, this vital Standard tells you how.
