What is NFPA 70E?
The Standard for Electrical Safety for Employee Work places
The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) teamed up with OSHA in 1976 in writing the first phase of this standard.
The standard is centered upon avoiding Electrical hazards such as Shock, Arc Flash, Arc Blast and Fire ignition. NFPA 70 E does not address other hazards of electricity.
The NEC code protects individuals from shock hazards under normal conditions. It is not designed to protect us from abnormal conditions. We need additional policies to protect us from abnormal conditions. This is why NFPA 70 E was established.
Electricians have not experienced Arc Flash/Arc Blast with the same frequency as \ with electrical shock. Typically the electrician has not been trained on how to avoid and minimize Arc Flash/Arc blast in the past. NFPA 70 E incorporates measures to help avoid or minimize damage from Arc Flash.
