Keep the workplace safe from electrical hazards using the 2018 edition of NFPA 70E®.
In a fraction of a second, an electrical incident can claim lives and cause permanently disabling injuries. In fact, hundreds of deaths and thousands of burn injuries occur each year due to shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast — and most could be prevented through compliance with NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace®.
Originally developed at OSHA’s request, NFPA 70E responds to the latest information about the effects of arc flash, arc blast, and direct current (dc) hazards, and recent developments in electrical design and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). It provides vital information that helps you comply with OSHA 1910 Subpart S and OSHA 1926 Subpart K.
Make sure everyone goes home at night. New NFPA 70E explicitly states that the first priority must be the elimination of the hazard.
The Standard continues to evolve to address risk assessment and introduces human factors, such as human error, as part of that assessment. Annex Q, Human Performance and Workplace Electrical Safety, is included to provide guidance. NFPA 70E emphasizes the need to use the hierarchy of risk controls, by moving it from an informational note into the text of the Standard. NFPA 70E now explicitly states that the first priority must be the elimination of the hazard.
Other changes in this edition:
- A modified arc flash hazard identification table [Table 130.7(C)(15)(A)(a)] makes it easier to determine the likelihood that an arc flash could occur.
- Reorganized Article 120 presents the requirements for establishing an electrically safe work condition in a logical order of application of the program.
- Changes to Article 320 introduce voltage thresholds of 100 Vdc specifically for batteries and battery rooms to cover the unique situations in these locations.
- Extensively revised, Article 330 on lasers now focuses on safety-related maintenance issues rather than issues associated with laser use.
- Article 350 introduces an Electrical Safety Authority as a possible authority having jurisdiction for laboratories.

Avoid accidents and OSHA fines with the 2009 NFPA 70E®: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace®!
Shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast are responsible for hundreds of worker deaths and thousands of injuries per year in the U.S. alone. Save lives with NFPA 70E: Electrical Safety in the Workplace, the Standard developed for OSHA that details the “hows” behind compliance with OSHA 1910 Subpart S and OSHA 1926 Subpart K.
The 2009 edition is revised to recognize new hazards and increase safety on the job.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) protects personnel and can significantly reduce the risk of injury in an arc flash. To help engineers calculate incident energy–the first step in determining the correct type of PPE for a given task-a new Annex D in the 2009 NFPA 70E consolidates all equations, adds new tables, and offers more options to detailed calculations. For example, a new utility table derived from the NEC helps utility and industrial plant workers calculate PPE based on voltage and fault current data.
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, and improves contractor communication about electrical hazards.
- New recordkeeping requirements for training and safety program audits answer OSHA’s need for records and ensure data is available when you need it.
Other changes expand your know-how:
- Easy-to-see shading identifies new or revised Standard text.
- Annex F clarifies the Hazard/Risk evaluation procedure and provides sample worksheets.
- A flow chart in Annex J helps users determine the need for an Energized Electrical Work Permit.
- Annex M helps workers and supervisors evaluate layering of PPE.
- Annex N explains safe work practices near overhead and underground lines.
Engineers, designers, risk managers, maintainers, safety directors, contractors, and owners need the 2009 NFPA 70E to improve worker safety and avoid citations, rising insurance fees, and increased workman’s comp costs.
