2018 NFPA 70E®: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace

Make your workplace safer from electrical dangers by following the 2018 version of NFPA 70E. Electrical accidents can happen very quickly and can lead to serious injuries or even death. Every year, hundreds of people die and thousands suffer burn injuries because of electrical shocks, electrocution, arc flash, or arc blast. Most of these incidents could be avoided if workplaces follow the NFPA 70 Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace.

This standard keeps getting updated to better handle risk assessments and now includes human factors like mistakes people make. Annex Q, which talks about human performance and electrical safety, is part of the standard to help with this. NFPA 70E now clearly states that the main goal should be to remove electrical hazards completely. (Softbound, around 102 pages, 2018)
