NFPA 70E, Handbook for Electrical Safety in the Workplace

Get the insight and guidance you need to interpret and apply the latest criteria for safer electrical work with the NFPA 70E Handbook.

Shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast represent a significant risk to personnel who work on or around electrical equipment. NFPA 70E®, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace®, answers a need not found in the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) or Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements as a document covering comprehensive electrical safety-related work practices and maintenance of electrical systems considered critical to safety.

The Handbook for Electrical Safety in the Workplace intends to assist workers in understanding what they need to do to help protect themselves and others on the job. Owners and facility managers can use the handbook to help ensure compliance with NFPA 70E and reduce the potential for electrical-related accidents, liability, and loss.
