This book was developed to make electrical safety easy to understand and enforce. The rules are taken from NFPA 70E®, Electrical Safety In The Workplace, and correlatedwith OSHA 29 CFR 1910, Subpart S; OSHA 29 CFR 1926, Subpart K; ANSI C2, National Electrical Safety Code, (NESC); and NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC), as well a NFPA 70B, the maintenance standard.. Many designers, installers and inspectors have trouble understanding, interpreting, and applying the electrical requirements listed in the above standards and codes. These requirements have been assembled and correlated in such a manner as to be easily understood. To help expedite the time involved in finding the rules and applying the requirements for general industry, sections in each standard have been listed for fast reference.To be inline with NFPA 70E, OSHA Electrical Regulations Simplified is divided into four chapters: Chapter 1: Safety-Related Work PracticesChapter 2: Safety-Related Maintenance RequirementsChapter 3: Safety Requirements for Special Equipment The Standard NFPA 70E was developed by NFPA at the request of OSHA. OSHA needed this standard to help them keep as current as possible with the requirements in the NEC that pertain to safety-related work practices, including the newly implemented arc-flash requirements. The OSHA standards are rarely changed and therefore lag behind the NEC as well as other codes and standards.
