Safety in any workplace is extremely important. In the case of the electrical industry, safety is critical and the codes and regulations which determine safe practices are both diverse and complicated. Employers, electricians, electrical system designers, inspectors, engineers and architects must comply with safety standards listed in the National Electrical Code, OSHA and NFPA 70E. Unfortunately, the publications which list these safety requirements are written in very technically advanced terms and the average person has an extremely difficult time understanding exactly what they need to do to ensure safe installations and working environments. Electrical Safety Code Manual will tie together the various regulations and practices for electrical safety and translate these complicated standards into easy to understand terms. This will result in a publication that is a practical, if not essential, asset to not only designers and company owners but to the electricians who must put compliance requirements into action in the field.

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.

The OSHA Standards present necessary and constant considerations by an employer for their implementation. Stallcup has authored a series of publications to make these regulations easier to understand, by correlating these rules and regulations with other codes and Standards, such as the NEC, NFPA 70E, and the NESC. And by illustrating their application, the adherence by employers and workers is promoted. This book is an excerpt from OSHA - Stallcup's® Construction Regulations and represents only the portion that covers the electrical standards for construction.
