Understand the safety measures specified in NFPA 70E, includes commentary and examples!
According to electrical safety expert Ray Jones, "Two thirds of all injuries in an industrial setting result from inadequate work practices. NFPA 70E is the only standard that provides information which prevents or minimizes exposure to all widely recognized electrical hazards. If its requirements were implemented, work practices would cease to be the major cause of electrical injury."The Handbook goes beyond the "what" of requirements and tells you "how"!
Written by the same professionals who helped develop NFPA 70E, the NFPA 70E Handbook contains the extra facts you need to ensure safe work practices at your site. In addition to the full Standard text, it includes commentary, examples, plus scores of illustrations and photos that spell out rules and eliminate confusion. Approx. 350 pp.
Only the Handbook prepares you to develop the protective schemes you need to...
- Do jobs right and prevent accidents. Detailed commentary explains the many unique definitions and how they apply to your work environment.
- Satisfy OSHA mandates and avoid penalties. You'll understand the reasoning behind safe work practices and the possible ramifications of noncompliance.
- Maximize worker protection from occupational hazards. Learn the operating limits for personal protective clothing and equipment so you can select the right PPE and avoid unsafe exposures.
- Ensure proper equipment testing and maintenance to head off potentially disastrous consequences. All requirements in NFPA 70E are based on the premise that equipment operates safely and efficiently. If either aspect is compromised, so is worker safety.
