ELECTRICAL SAFETY-Electrical Safety, Certified

摘要

Industry awareness of the safe work practice requirements contained in NFPA 70E, Electrical Safety in the Workplace, has increased significantly over the past 15 years, as has adherance to those requirements. A number of factors are responsible for the continuation of this trend, including strong support from electrical industry stakeholders, expansion of the hazards covered in the standard to address both shock and arc-flash hazards, and proactive initiatives on preventing electrical accidents undertaken by federal and state occupational safety regulators. NFPA has supported this demand for information through the development of support products such as the NFPA 70E Handbook, alliances with industry partners such as IEEE and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and through the creation of training programs.
