Learn the basics of electrical safety compliance requirements for the hazards of shock, electrocution, arc flash and arc blast in most facilities. Joe Weigel with Square D's Services Group in Nashville, Tenn., covers the NFPA 70E 2004 Standards for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, as well as the other codes and standards requirements (OSHA 29CFR 1910, IEEE 1584, and the NEC).
Electrical arc flash accidents resulting in serious injuries to electrical workers occurs 5 to ten times every day in the United States, and recent studies indicate that 70% to 80% of all electrical injury accidents result in burns from arcing faults in electrical equipment. Current safety standards exist to reduce these statistics, and OSHA cites to these standards as best practices for electrical safety.
