Description of NFPA 70E 2009

The 2009 NFPA 70E®: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace® is the solution to jobsite protection from electrical hazards.

Shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast are responsible for one worker death per day and 3,600 disabling injuries per year on average in the United States. Now NFPA 70E--the Standard developed for OSHA--is revised to address safety gaps and increase electrical worker protection, while helping companies comply with OSHA 1910 Subpart S and OSHA 1926 Subpart K. Major changes recognize new hazards and address safety gaps.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) protects personnel and can significantly reduce the risk of injury in an arc flash. To help electrical engineers calculate incident energy--the vital first step in determining the correct type of PPE for a given task--revised Annex D consolidates all equations, adds new tables, and offers more options to detailed calculations.

Improved work practices reduce risks.

• A new requirement for Fire Rated clothing for H/R Category 1 precludes the use of cotton clothing. This change reduces the risks for second-degree thermal burns.
• An expanded Table in Article 130 covers added tasks such as thermographic imaging, and new equipment including arc-resistant switchgear.
• Added Article 350 provides first-time requirements for the protection of electrical personnel in R&D labs.
• A new exception verifies that 240 V and less power systems fed by a single transformer less than 125 kvs no longer require an arc flash hazard analysis.
• Expanded requirements for multi-employer relationships address potential areas of oversight.
• New recordkeeping requirements for training and safety program audits answer OSHA's need for records.

Annexes expand knowledge about electrical safety.

• Understand the Hazard/Risk evaluation procedure with clarification and sample worksheets in Annex F.
• Evaluate layering of PPE with new Annex M--Layering of Protective Clothing and Total System Arc Rating
• Follow safe work practices with new Annex N--Example Industrial Procedures and Policies for Working Near Overhead Electrical Lines

Engineers, designers, risk managers, maintainers, safety directors, contractors, and owners need the 2009

to improve worker safety and avoid citations, rising insurance fees, and increased workman's comp costs.
