The NFPA 70E® Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace was updated in 2015. This updated standard contains significant changes when compared to the 2012 version.

The course covers the requirements for working safely in the electrical environment based on the NFPA 70E. Understanding this standard is imperative for compliance with the OSHA mandates regarding electrical safety in the workplace. OSHA specifically mandates employer assessment of generally recognized hazards in the workplace and provisions for protecting the employee from those hazards. Changes in the NFPA 70E 2015 edition include: the risk assessment process, a new task based table to clarify selection methods for arc flash PPE, and the electrical safety program requirements for maintenance on electrical equipment. The NFPA 70E is updated to reflect ongoing research to improve electrical safe work practices and personal protective equipment (PPE). OSHA compliance and a safe workplace are the desired outcomes. NFPA 70E provides the directions on how to achieve that outcome. Fewer electrical accidents are in everyone’s best interest.
