3 Thoughts on the 2015 Edition of NFPA 70E by James R. White The NFPA Technical Committee has voted on the revisions for the 2015 edition, which means there will be substantial changes to the upcoming edition of NFPA 70E. NFPA staff still has to edit all the changes that were made, such as assigning numbers to new tables and reordering numbering throughout, but the substance of the 2015 edition is finished. One of the biggest changes, and one that caused the most discussion, are the new PPE tables. During one lively exchange, one committee member likened the new table to going back to the 1950s in safety, because the new table does not require arc-rated PPE for operating 480-volt equipment. No such PPE is currently required in the 2012 edition, only cotton clothing and safety glasses. Hearing protection is required if inside the arc flash boundary, but that would not apply to normal operation of equipment. The new requirements really don t change anything in this regard. The question really is, What should a standard require? This is where the differences in committee philosophy become important. Should NFPA 70E present best safe work practices or should it present minimum safe work practices? Neither concept is right or wrong, which is why NFPA uses the process it does. NFPA s standards process allows the middle ground to be explored and debated, eventually coming to agreement as to the best ideas and requirements to make it into the document. Shermco Industries has two members on NFPA 70E that represent NETA. We believe NFPA 70E should represent minimum safe work practices. So, why do we believe the new table is a big improvement? Below is a rundown on the enhancements. The new table eliminates HRC 0 and it eliminates the dozens of risk-based reductions in arc flash PPE. If there is an arc flash risk, properly rated arc flash PPE is required. HRC 0 provides no arc flash protection and it is misleading to have it in a table that addresses the arc flash hazard. For the first time ever in NFPA 70E, the table requires the worker to verify the equipment is properly installed, properly maintained, all equipment doors are closed and secured, all covers are in place and secured and there is no evidence of impending failure. This fills in the gaps in evaluating the equipment about to be operated or serviced that were in previous editions of 70E. There are significant revisions to tasks in the table including clarification that thermography by itself does not require arc-rated PPE (if certain conditions are met) and that the task of thermography does not include opening doors/covers. Those tasks will require the use of properly rated arc flash protective PPE. The new table is easier to apply in the field, which means that it will be more widely used. The current version of the table is cumbersome and difficult to interpret correctly for many workers. In the new table there is either a perceived arc flash risk or there is not. If not, no further requirements are mandated. If there is an arc flash risk, full-rated arc flash PPE must be worn. Since we believe NFPA 70E should present minimum safe work practices, this concept is workable. It does not prevent a worker from using arc-rated PPE if that is what he/she believes is needed; it just does not mandate the use of that PPE. Each piece of equipment, every specific situation has to be evaluated independently of any other. The way the new table is proposed, it allows for flexibility in the field, at the specific job location. One of the advantages of having members on the NFPA 70E Technical Committee is that we not only know what the changes are, but we also understand what went into making those changes. When students ask Why would the 70E word things the way they do? we can answer that question. We can provide insight that others cannot, because we are part of the process. Beginning in January 2014 we will incorporate the 2015 changes into our electrical safety training programs, while still covering the current requirements of NFPA 70E. This added value from Shermco Industries is just one example why training with a company that practices what it preaches is important to keeping your workers safe and informed.

Jim is also a member of the NFPA Technical Committee for NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace and NFPA 70B Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance and a member of the ASTM F 18 Committee. shermco.com/training 888.SHERMCO 3

16 Why do we need training? by Stephen Hester This question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason. U.S. companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees. That s an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course. So I think it s fair to say that training alone is a big business. And your business is a big one, too. Regardless of the size of your company, your business is a big one to you. You owe it to your all involved: your company, your shareholders, your customers, and your employees to ensure that you know not only why you re training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely. (1) Efficiency. Electrical workers involved in the construction, operation, and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently. You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible. Welltrained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time. In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency. This isn t always an easy task. Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isn t subject to financial constraints; it s what your people must know how to do. How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs. (2) Safety. This is an absolute must in any facility. Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed. Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely. It s also the law. Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees. That doesn t mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger. 29 CFR (a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation, transmission, and distribution activities while (a) directs training for other electrical workers. The law notwithstanding, safety training is the right thing to do. Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority, and provides training to back it up, are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know they ll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they came to work: walking. It s worth the money to have that peace of mind. Ultimately it s up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it. You d spend more if the accountants would let you, right? Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance. And that s money well spent. 16 Service Locations: AUSTIN CEDAR RAPIDS DALLAS DES MOINES HOUSTON SAN ANTONIO SWEETWATER TULSA

17 SAFETY TRAINING Electrical Safety for Non-Electrical Personnel Virtually every worker in an industrial or commercial job site works with or uses electrically-powered equipment. Most of these workers have no concept of the hazards they could possibly be exposed to by performing common, everyday tasks. Jewelry contacting energized components, overstressed power strips, coffee pots and heaters placed into the workplace all can increase the risk to the employee and to production if the worker is not aware of the potential issues involved.

20 Shermco's Safety Compliance Solutions OSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices, means, methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job. It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments, to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible, and to comply with the standards. Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effort. As a field service operation, we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations, we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization. Additionally, members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards, including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace), NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code), NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance), the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop, and many other industry-related committees and organizations. Services available include the following: SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENT/AUDIT Electrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury, prevent loss of life and protect property. Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations, the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies, procedures, training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA, MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements. Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings. A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices, also. The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review, as well. ARC FLASH STUDY Arc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment. These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment. Shermco s arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSI/IEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace). ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEW Team Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards: OSHA and MSHA regulations. Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors, etc.) are apprised of site hazards, PPE requirements, safe work practices, and emergency/evacuation procedures. This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion. ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT Electrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies. Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program, including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures. Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance. Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include: purpose and policy; responsibilities; employee training requirements; inspections and audit standards; equipment standards; standard operating procedures for electrical work; personal protective equipment requirements; and labels and signs. ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAINING In order to be considered a qualified electrical person, OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of , the requirements of and In short, that person would have to have safety training, demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task. Shermco's electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHA's regulations. 20 Service Locations: AUSTIN CEDAR RAPIDS DALLAS DES MOINES HOUSTON SAN ANTONIO SWEETWATER TULSA
