NFPA 70E
In order to reduce the number of electrical
hazards at workplace, OSHA developed a
workplace safety standard code “NFPA
70E” to help companies and employees
stay protected against electrical hazards.
The most common workplace electrical
hazards are shock, electrocution, arc
flash, and arc blast. The NFPA 70E also
helps assisting compliance with OSHA
1910 Subpart S and OSHA 1926

Basic Workplace Electrical Safety
![Page 13: All About Workplace Electrical Safety](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a68b551a28ab765f8b4640/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Make sure all new electrical systems are installed
to OSHA requirements for electrical installations.
BS 7671 for U.K.
MAIN SUPPLIES

All electrical installations must be in a good working order
![Page 15: All About Workplace Electrical Safety](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a68b551a28ab765f8b4640/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Providing enough socket-outlets for equipment in use is a must.
![Page 16: All About Workplace Electrical Safety](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a68b551a28ab765f8b4640/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Be very careful with socket-outlets
overloading - using adaptors can also cause
fire.

Use nearby sockets for portable equipment to
easily disconnect it in case of emergency.

USING THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT
Choose the right electrical equipment that is
suitable for its working environment.
![Page 20: All About Workplace Electrical Safety](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a68b551a28ab765f8b4640/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Ensure equipment safety and maintenance in a safe condition
![Page 21: All About Workplace Electrical Safety](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a68b551a28ab765f8b4640/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Make sure any equipment used in flammable or
explosive atmosphere must be designed in a way
that avoids sparks.
![Page 22: All About Workplace Electrical Safety](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a68b551a28ab765f8b4640/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Small electrical equipment such as light bulbs and
other small devices can be hazardous if broken.
![Page 23: All About Workplace Electrical Safety](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a68b551a28ab765f8b4640/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Maintenance & Repairs
Make sure all equipment are fitted with rated fuse.
![Page 24: All About Workplace Electrical Safety](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a68b551a28ab765f8b4640/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Always avoid wires inside a cable working loose
from plugs or inside equipment by ensuring outer
sheaths firmly clamped.
![Page 25: All About Workplace Electrical Safety](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a68b551a28ab765f8b4640/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Avoid insulating tape to repair cable cuts and go
for complete replacement of damaged cable
sections.

Make sure you have the best connectors to join cable lengths.
![Page 27: All About Workplace Electrical Safety](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a68b551a28ab765f8b4640/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Make sure all wire connections are secure.

Awareness Is Safety
As mentioned in one of the earlier slides, awareness is safety. 90% of the workplace
electrical hazards result as a lack of awareness. Make sure all of your staff technical or
non-technical have the right knowledge to avoid any
potential electrical hazard within a facility.
