The 2004 edition of NFPA 70E has an introduction, four chapters and annexes. Chapter 1 – SafetyRelated Work Practices contains the real core of the standard including establishing an electrically safe work condition and working on or near live parts. Chapter 2 – Safety-Related Maintenance Requirements documents good electrical maintenance procedures. Chapter 3 – Safety Requirements for Special Equipment. Chapter 4 Installation Safety Requirements; is a very truncated version of the NEC. This chapter is based on applicable sections of the NEC, but is not intended to be used in lieu of the NEC. Annexes A through M include useful information such as a how-to for calculating flash protection boundaries, a sample LOTO procedure, a simplified method for selecting flame-resistant clothing, and a sample Energized Electrical Work Permit.
