D.L. Steiner will help you comply with even the latest changes in workplace electrical safety

The job safety plan of every worker exposed to electrical hazards must now include an emergency response plan for emergency situations that could arise during job completion. See NFPA 70E 110.3(I)(1)(f).

Establishing and verifying an electrically safe work condition for equipment now includes testing for an absence of voltage at each point on the equipment where electrical work will be completed. See NFPA 70E 120.6.

Equipment that is not rated to handle the available fault current is no longer considered to be in normal operating condition and could be subject to failure. See NFPA 70E 110.2(B).

All personnel within the arc flash boundary, not just those working there, are required to wear hearing protection. See NFPA 70E 130.7(C)(5).

After a circuit protective device de-energizes a circuit, the circuit should not be re-energized until a qualified person(s) determines the fault is cleared and the equipment and circuit can be energized safely. See NFPA 70E 130.8(M).

NFPA 70E sister publication NFPA 70B Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance 2023 is now a standard for electrical equipment maintenance, not a recommended practice. See the NFPA website.
