This industry-wide partnership to improve safety in the line construction industry has been operating for over five years. NECA, IBEW, and several major NECA line constructors are participants. 29

30 ETD OSHA Partnership Update Eight best practices have been developed by the partnership to date and are available in text and PowerPoint formats at safety.org. The partnership continues to raise the bar for the safety of our line contractors with the inclusion of a new best practice. Fall Protection on wooden structures. 30

31 OSHA Rule-Making NECA is actively engaged in the rule making process by commenting and assisting at OSHA public hearings on standard development. NECA continues to ensure that sound and practical safety solutions for workplace safety are being considered at the standard development phase. Areas of recent NECA involvement include the proposed rules, confined spaces, for cranes and derricks, and PPE clarifications. 31

32 Summary The NEC and other codes/standards are continuously being revised. NECA is active in the development. NECA is focusing on providing effective safety products and support for contractors.
