This book was developed to make electrical safety easy to understand and enforce. The rules are taken from NFPA 70E®, Electrical Safety In The Workplace, and correlated with OSHA 29 CFR 1910, Subpart S; OSHA 29 CFR 1926, Subpart K; ANSI C2, National Electrical Safety Code, (NESC); and NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC).Many designers, installers and inspectors have trouble understanding, interpreting, and applying the electrical requirements listed in the above standards and codes. These requirements have been assembled and correlated in such a manner as to be easily understood. To help expedite the time involved in finding the rules and applying the requirements for general industry, sections in each standard have been listed for fast reference.Designers must design and lay out electrical systems to meet the provisions of the OSHA standards. Installers are required to install and wire electrical systems to comply with the NEC and provide safety for the employee working in his or her workplace. Inspectors must inspect the electrical system to ensure that it not only complies with the NEC but also provides the necessary safety requirements of OSHA and NFPA 70E

Many designers, installers and inspectors have trouble understanding, interpreting, and applying the electrical requirements listed in the above standards and codes. These requirements have been assembled and correlated in such a manner as to be easily understood. To help expedite the time involved in finding the rules and applying the requirements for general industry, sections in each standard have been listed for fast reference.To be inline with NFPA 70E, OSHA Electrical Regulations Simplified is divided into four chapters: Chapter 1: Safety-Related Work PracticesChapter 2: Safety-Related Maintenance RequirementsChapter 3: Safety Requirements for Special Equipment The Standard NFPA 70E was developed by NFPA at the request of OSHA. OSHA needed this standard to help them keep as current as possible with the requirements in the NEC that pertain to safety-related work practices, including the newly implemented arc-flash requirements. The OSHA standards are rarely changed and therefore lag behind the NEC as well as other codes and standards.

Electrical Safety: A Practical Guide to OSHA and NFPA 70E� is a comprehensive overview of electrical safety in the workplace. Both OSHA regulations and the NFPA 70E� 2015 standards are covered to provide a clear overview of proper electrical safety procedures. The information provided helps learners understand how to reduce risk and avoid electrical hazards in the workplace while still being productive, which makes this textbook a valuable training tool for trainers, contractors, safety officials, and electricians in the field.

NFPA's far-reaching Electrical Safety in the Workplace teaches individuals safe work procedures and provides companies with a process for defining and implementing effective electrical safety programs. The text draws on the authors' 35 years of experience in developing corporate standards and procedures and electrical safety programs, and is up-to-date with the 1999 NEC(R) and NFPA 70E: Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces. Chapters cover critical information about electrical hazards and hazard analysis, explain risk exposure management, and discuss NFPA codes and documents published by OSHA, NEMA, UL, and ANSI. Concepts applicable to both commercial and industrial activities include: persuasive statistics on the benefits of electrically safe workplaces, plus proper practices such as lockout/tagout and responsibility of personnel; advice on designing and implementing electrical safety programs; real-life examples and case studies of electrical accidents; and tips on working with safety professionals and effective workplace auditing procedures.Electrical Safety in the Workplace is a must for professionals involved in construction and heavy industry, electrical contractors, and union and trade group trainers.
