Jim Phillips takes you on a deep dive with the 2021 Edition of NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. In this 8-hour online training class, Jim goes behind the scenes and answers “why” when it comes to some of the changes to this standard..
Highlights of the Major Changes Include:
- Revised definitions
- Reorganization of Article 110
- Moving Priority from Article 105 to 110.1 to emphasize the importance
- Addition of informational note regarding online training.
- New note regarding multi-employer work sites – more than one employer can be responsible.
- New section about Electrically Safe Work Policy.
- There is a New Section about Equipment Use.
- Clarification regarding “Block or relive stored non-electrical energy devices”.
- New task added to Table 130.5(C) “operating a circuit breaker or switch for the first time under all conditions is listed as “Yes” regarding likelihood of an arc flash incident.
- A new informational note was added regarding the arc rating of outer layers used for safety or protection from the elements.
- New examples of risk reduction methods when testing absence of voltage with an incident energy greater than arc rating of commercially available arc rated PPE.
- A new Article 360 regarding capacitor safety was added.
- Annex D was revised to reflect the 2018 Edition of IEEE 1584.
- Annex R – Working with Capacitors was added.
