1 Safety Meeting Topic #37 NFPA 70E What is it? The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70E is the standard for Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces and is a supplement to the NFPA70 National Electric Code. It contains four major parts: Part I is Installation Safety Requirements. Part II is Safety Related Work Practices. Part III is Safety-Related Maintenance Requirements. Part IV is Safety Requirements for Special Equipment. The purpose of NFPA 70E is to fulfill OSHA s responsibilities for electrical safety, and be fully consistent with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70). The NEC is intended for use primarily by those who design, install, and inspect electrical installations. OSHA s electrical regulations address the employer and employee in their workplace. Some of the detailed provisions within the NEC are not directly related to employee safety and therefore are of little value for OSHA s needs. Furthermore, requirements for electrical safety-related work practices of electrical systems considered critical to safety are not found in the NEC. Thus, NFPA 70E covers these essential safety items and is intended for use by employers, employees, and OSHA. Part I is further subdivided into six chapters. The chapters look a lot like the NEC; however, remember the focus is on safe installations. Some safety topics covered in this part are electrical connections, branch circuits, grounding, wiring methods, special equipment/systems, and hazardous locations. Part II has five chapters and six appendices. This is a very important part because is covers such topics as working on or near energized conductors, personal protective equipment requirements when working on or near energized parts and lockout/tagout requirements. For example, do you know what PPE is required to insert an MCC bucket into energized equipment at 480 volt? The answer is that this is Hazard/Risk Category 3, which requires two layers of Fire Retardant (FR) clothing, a hard hat with a FR liner, face protection double layer switching hood, hearing protection, voltage rated gloves, and leather work shoes Part III has eleven chapters and specifically covers maintenance requirements for substations, switchgear, fuses, circuit breakers, rotating equipment to name a few. Part IV has five chapters and covers safety around special equipment such as battery rooms, lasers, and electronic equipment. Please discuss the following tables regarding the minimum safety requirements for various electrical tasks at specified voltages.
