NFPA 70E addresses electrical safety-related work practices for employee workplaces that are necessary for the practical safeguarding of employees relative to the hazards associated with electrical energy during activities such as:
Installation, inspection, operation, maintenance, and demolition of electric conductors, electric equipment, signaling and communications conductors and equipment, and raceways.
This standard also includes safe work practices for employees performing other work activities that can expose them to electrical hazards as well as safe work practices.
Electrical work should only be conducted by a qualified person. OSHA defines a qualified person as “one who has received training in and has demonstrated skills and knowledge in the construction and operation of electrical equipment and installations and the hazards involved.
