Summary

Industry has been implementing the requirements of NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, for more than 20 years. The recently published 2024 Edition continues in its refinement of electrical hazard classification, electrical hazard identification, and risk assessment. NFPA 70E is also aligned with other Standards and specifically — with respect to the mandatory requirements in Article 110.5 Electrical Safety Program — that an employer shall develop and implement an Electrical Safety Program, and ANSI Z10 or ISO 45001 should be referenced. 
 
In this webinar, electrical safety expert Terry Becker, P.Eng., CESCP, IEEE Senior Member will review the new requirements for a company’s electrical safety program, including training of employees on its policies, practices, processes, and procedural requirements. The employer’s electrical safety program is required to document a “risk assessment procedure.” Attendees will come away from this webinar with answers to these critical questions for performing authorized and approved energized electrical work tasks:

• Do you understand — and can you identify — the electrical hazards related to assigned work tasks?
• Have you been provided appropriate risk control methods, and do you apply them in the field?
• Do you understand the risk control methods required to be applied to achieve an acceptable residual risk level?
• Are you effectively managing the likelihood of occurrence with focus on human performance?
• Do you know your residual risk?
