Salisbury History 3 History - Started business in 1855. - In early 1900 s, Salisbury was approached by ComEd the local electrical utility in Chicago. Linehose was born. - Salisbury has been working closely with electrical workers ever since! Insulated Rubber Gloves, Insulated Blankets Grounding Products all came next. The Arc Flash line was developed in 2001.
What are the Electrical Hazards? 4 Electrical Shock When electrical current enters and exits the body creating a path. Arc Flash A dangerous condition associated with the release of energy caused by an electric arc. Note that this explosive condition includes a broad spectrum of electromagnetic energy, plasma, fragments and a spray of molten materials. Arc Blast Pressure wave caused by the expansion of gases and conducting materials with flying molten materials.
Arc Blast 5 Electrical Arc-Flash can create blast in excess of 2,000 lbs/ft2. Arc-Blast can cause collateral damage and extreme personal damage. - Explode switchgear - Send molten metal at extreme high velocities.
What causes an Arc Flash? 6 Electricity will go through the path of least resistance. When the path of electricity is suddenly interrupted, the electricity will create a new pathway. The arc can be generated by: - Mechanical breakdown/failure - Current overload - Accidental contact
Salisbury Assessment Solutions 7 Engineering services designed to identify, educate and mitigate electrical risks based on NFPA70E which may exist in commercial or industrial facilities. Specializing in corporations including multi-site global businesses.
Arc Flash Accidents Facts 8 As much as 80% of all electrical injuries are burns resulting from an arc-flash and ignition of flammable clothing. Arc temperature can reach 35,000 F - this is four times hotter than the surface of the sun. Fatal burns can occur at distances over 10 ft. Over 2,000 people are admitted into burn centers each year with severe electrical burns ($10k/day)
Why Electrical Safety is Important? 9 A study from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found that 17,101 injuries were caused by electric arc flash burns between 1992 and 2002. 1 97% of electricians have been shocked or injured on the job. Every 30 minutes during the work day, a worker suffers an electrically induced injury that requires time off the job for recovery. 2 Over the last ten years, more than 46,000 workers have been injured from on-the-job electrical hazards. 2 Medical costs for severe electrical burns can exceed $4M per person. 3 Work-related injuries can cost businesses well over $30M in fines, medical costs, litigation, lost business and equipment costs. 3 (1) Arc Flash Protection Should be Job No. 1, IEEE/NFPA Collaboration on Arc Flash Phenomena, in http://www.powermag.com, Feb. 2007.

Statistics (Annual Data) 10 4,000 3,600 2,000+ 365 Electrical contact injuries, nondisabling Electrical contact injuries, disabling Person is electrocuted Workers are sent to burn centers with electrical burns
Are you compliant? 11 Electrical Industry standards and regulations: - OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S - NEC - NFPA 70E-2015 Edition - Various ASTM Requirements
Compliance 12 OSHA 29 CFR 1910 SUBPART S and 1926 SUBPART K Electrical Paragraph (e) of 1910.303 requires employers to mark electrical equipment with descriptive markings, including the equipment's voltage, current, wattage, or other ratings as necessary. Additionally, in 1910.335(b), OSHA requires employers to use alerting techniques (safety signs and tags, barricades, and attendants)... To warn and protect employees from hazards which could cause injury due to electric shock, burns or failure of electric equipment parts. National Electric Code 110.16 Flash Protection. Electrical equipment, such as switchboards, panelboards, industrial control panels, meter socket enclosures, and motor control centers, that are in other than dwelling occupancies, and are likely to require examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance while energized shall be field marked to warn qualified persons of potential electric arc flash hazards.
Compliance 13 NFPA 70-E - Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace 130.5 Arc Flash Hazard Analysis. An arc flash hazard analysis (electrical assessment) shall determine the arc flash boundary, the incident energy at the working distance, and the personal protective equipment that people within the arc flash boundary shall use. The arc flash hazard analysis shall be updated when a major modification or renovation takes place. It shall be reviewed periodically, not to exceed 5 years, to account for changes in the electrical distribution system that could affect the results of the arc flash hazard analysis. The arc flash hazard analysis shall take into consideration the design of the overcurrent protective device and its opening time, including its condition of maintenance.
NFPA 70E & OSHA 14
NFPA 70E & OSHA 15 What does OSHA Say about NFPA 70E? - David Wallis (Director of Electrical Standards Fed OSHA) Mr. Wallis was asked, What does OSHA look for when officers are in the field? Also, if issues are found where organizations lack compliance to NFPA 70E, are they enforceable? Mr. Wallis answers, We can cite an employer for 2 things. We can cite them for violating the needed PPE requirements listed in 1910. Also, we will enforce 1910.335 which states the needed electrical PPE to be required for electrical work and arc flash hazards. It must be industry practice to provide your employees this type of protection. We can look to NFPA 70E in some cases for example with Ford Motor Company. The settlement agreement was Ford would adopt NFPA 70E in addressing the electrical compliance needed.
NFPA 70E & OSHA 16 What does OSHA Say about NFPA 70E? - David Wallis (Director of Electrical Standards Fed OSHA) Mr. Wallis summarizes by saying, If I was an employer and wanted to comply with a general requirement for protecting my employers from electric shock that the first place I am going to look it NFPA 70E. - What is Needed?

Why Was NFPA 70E Written? 20 History - Prior to 1982, it was assumed that electric shock was the major risk associated with live electrical work. This was incorrect. According a study by Dr. Ralph Lee, as many as 80% of electrical injuries resulted from arc flash rather than from shock. - In 1990, the threat of arc flash was well-established, and OSHA updated 29 CFR-1910 Subpart S to recognize the need for arc-flash safety. A few years later, NFPA 70E was revised to include the calculations necessary to establish arc flash protection boundaries.
NFPA 70E Terminology Updates 21 Arc flash risk assessment replaces Arc flash hazard analysis Electrical hazard risk assessment replaces Electrical hazard analysis Risk assessment replaces Hazard identification and risk assessment Shock risk assessment replaces Shock hazard analysis Arc flash PPE category replaces Hazard/risk category (HRC no longer referenced) Footwear replaces Work shoes Injury or damage to health replaces Harm Likelihood replaces Probability Test instrument replaces Voltage detector Qualified Person changed from one who has skills and knowledge to one who has demonstrated the skills and knowledge.
NFPA 70E 2015 - Top Changes 22 Arc Flash PPE Category 0 Eliminated (used to be HRC 0) New PPE Tables Prohibited Approach Boundary Eliminated GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) Protection - Required for all 125v, 15, 20 and 30 amp circuits - OR required assured equipment grounding program
Working at Safe Distances 23 Arc Flash Boundary Energized Equipment Dependent on Calculated Incident Energy at Arcing Fault Arc Flash Protection Boundary The Flash Protection Boundary (FPB) is defined as the distance at which a worker is exposed to 1.2 calories/cm 2 of incident energy. This is the distance at which PPE must be worn to prevent 2nd-degree or greater burns in the event of an arc flash. Any persons crossing the FPB must wear appropriate Arc Rated PPE.
Know Your Boundaries (Quick Refresher) 24 Eliminated from 2015 version Prohibited Approach Boundary (Eliminated in NFPA 70E 2015) Equivalent to direct contact. Any body part which crosses this boundary must be protected with PPE rated appropriately for direct contact with the part. Why remove? it is more of a heads up boundary, too similar to the RAB - Restricted Approach Boundary May only be crossed by qualified workers with appropriate PPE. In addition, a work permit is needed. - Limited Approach Boundary Unqualified workers must be in PPE and accompanied by qualified worker to cross
NFPA 70E 2015 - Updates 25 Electrical Safety Program Procedure - An electrical safety program shall identify the procedures for employees exposed to an electrical hazard before work is started. New version deleted reference to limited approach boundary and arc flash boundary Risk Assessment Procedure Training - An electrical safety program shall include a risk assessment procedure that addresses employee exposure to electrical hazards. New Hazard identification has been deleted. New Field work shall be audited to verify electrical safety program is being followed. Audits cannot exceed 1 year. - Current Requirements (no change from 2012) Training must be performed every 3 years at a minimum Many companies/corporations adapt a higher degree of training for their internal requirements - NFPA 70E 2015 Updates Documentation must be kept. - This includes name, date and content - Employee must demonstrate skill/know-how
NFPA 70E 2015 - Updates 26 Emergency Training - Employer shall document that employees required to respond to emergencies have received training in (1) and (2) below: - (1) Contact Release Employees exposed to shock hazards shall be trained in methods of safe release of victims from contact with exposed energized electrical conductors or circuit parts. - (2) Resuscitation Employees shall be regularly instructed in the method of first aid and emergency procedures, such as approved methods of resuscitation, if their duties warrant such training. Training of employees in approved methods of resuscitation, including cardiopulmonary resuscitations and automated external defibrillator (AED) use, shall be verified annually.
27 NFPA 70E 2015 - Updates Boundaries - Conductive articles shall not be worn within the restrictive approach boundary OR when they present an electrical contact hazard. - Working space shall not be used for storage. This space has to be kept clear to permit safe operation. - Insulated tools shall be used when working in the restricted approach boundary. No longer the limited approach boundary - 130.7 (E)(2) Barricades Barricades shall be placed at the greater of the limited approach boundary or the arc flash boundary. Common problem with employees being unaware of the hazards! - General awareness training is highly recommended.
NFPA 70E Updates 28 2018 NFPA 70E Review Under Way! - Annex K General Categories of Electrical Hazards - Annex F Electrical Safety Program - Certification of PPE Tables 130.7 (C)(14) and 130.7 (F) Study the need for certification of PPE to the referenced standards as well as how these certification requirements could be addressed - Chapter 3, Articles 330, 340 and 350 330 Safety-Related Work Practices for Use of Lasers 340 Safety-Related Work Practices: Power Electronic Equipment 350 Safety-Related Work Practices: Research and Development Laboratories
