This book was developed to make OSHA rules 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. 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. The OSHA standards are rarely changed and therefore lag behind the NEC as well as other codes and standards. Throughout the book you will find examples and illustrations as well as the highlighted text Standards to review, which interface OSHA, NFPA 70E, and the NEC, where applicable.

Based on NFPA 70E 2015, this new edition summarizes current OSHA regulations as well as the National Electrical Code. Designed for electricians, engineers, contractors, designers, maintenance workers, inspectors, instructors, and students, this invaluable resource provides fast access to the most commonly referenced sections of the latest NFPA 70E and related safety standards. Important updates in the 2015 NFPA 70E include: arc flash hazard analysis is now arc flash risk assessment; hazard/risk category (HRC) is now arc flash PPE category; a new table has been added to identify when arc flash PPE is required; a new table has been added to determine the arc flash PPE category. --

The rules and regulations in Part I of OSHA High-Voltage Electrical Regulations Simplified, addresses the work practices to be used during the operation and maintenance of electric power generation, transmission, and distribution installations. A comprehensive approach is discussed pertaining to control of the hazards involved for the safety of personnel working near or on such hazards. To protect personnel from the unique hazards encountered while working on high-voltage systems and associated equipment, the appropriate electrical protective equipment is recommended to ensure such protection. The rules and regulations outlined (when applied) will significantly reduce the number of fatalities and injuries involving electrical contact, flash burns, and thermal burns as well as other accidents which otherwise would be uncontrolled. Employer and employees must learn the requirements of Part I which contains Subpart R of OSHA 1910.269. They must implement such rules to provide safety when performing maintenance on high-voltage electrical installations.

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.
