NFPA 70E-2021 IS HERE - HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

摘要

In September 2020, the newest (2021) edition of NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace will be available to the industry. So how is it that such an important safety standard, put forth as a national consensus document, is reviewed, revised, and improved every three years? Well look at the process a little later in this article. But first, let's talk about this very important safety document, which on issuance becomes immediately active and enforceable ... including any changes that have taken place. Unlike a code, this is a work practices document; therefore, any new requirements are now in effect, and there are no grandfathered rules and regulations.
