What is NFPA 70E and why should I care?
The National Fire Protection Association sets recognized standards for electrical safety in the workplace. NFPA 70E specifically addresses arc flash hazards, which are dangerous situations that can cause injury, severe burns, and death if a worker is exposed to an electrical arc. NFPA and OSHA have worked together to establish this standard. For more information about this standard, visit: http://www.nfpa.org or http://www.osha.
