Benefits: * looseleaf format makes it easy to customize your NEC materials by adding job-specific materials, and organizing facts; and the durable 5-ring binder opens flat on a desk for easy referencing * new article on Critical Operations Power Systems provides rules for electrical security in public and private facilities that must stay online during a crisis * usability improvements include greater consistency in grounding and bonding terminology and an improved index * new provisions also reduce worker hazards and correlate with NFPA 70Er worker safety requirements * single most important reference in the electrical industry * updated every three years and outlines minimum standards for all types of electrical installations
Safety in any workplace is extremely important. In the case of the electrical industry, safety is critical and the codes and regulations which determine safe practices are both diverse and complicated. Employers, electricians, electrical system designers, inspectors, engineers and architects must comply with safety standards listed in the National Electrical Code, OSHA and NFPA 70E. Unfortunately, the publications which list these safety requirements are written in very technically advanced terms and the average person has an extremely difficult time understanding exactly what they need to do to ensure safe installations and working environments. Electrical Safety Code Manual will tie together the various regulations and practices for electrical safety and translate these complicated standards into easy to understand terms. This will result in a publication that is a practical, if not essential, asset to not only designers and company owners but to the electricians who must put compliance requirements into action in the field. Best-practice methods for accident prevention and electrical hazard avoidance Current safety regulations, including new standards from OSHA, NEC, NESC, and NFPA Information on low-, medium-, and high-voltage safety systems Step-by-step guidelines on safety audits Training program how-to's, from setup to rescue and first aid procedures
Presents the latest electrical regulation code that is applicable for electrical wiring and equipment installation for all buildings, covering emergency situations, owner liability, and procedures for ensuring public and workplace safety.
