Arc Flash NFPA 70E Safety Program
$25.00
The Arc Flash NFPA 70E Safety Program establishes requirements for protecting employees from arc flash, arc blast, electric shock, and other electrical hazards when working on or near energized electrical equipment. The program incorporates NFPA 70E electrical safety practices and addresses qualified persons, electrical hazard and risk assessments, approach boundaries, arc flash protection boundaries, job planning, job briefings, energized electrical work, and required permits. Before employees enter applicable electrical approach boundaries, hazards must be evaluated and appropriate safe work practices and protective measures established.
The program addresses arc flash risk assessments, electrical PPE, arc-rated clothing, voltage-rated gloves, approach distances, energized electrical work permits, test instruments, insulated tools, equipment condition, and restricted work areas. Qualified employees receive training appropriate to their electrical responsibilities and must understand electrical hazards, safe approach distances, PPE requirements, and emergency procedures. Host and contract employers also have responsibilities for communicating known electrical hazards, coordinating safe work practices, and ensuring employees are properly trained and qualified. The program helps establish an electrical safety program consistent with NFPA 70E for controlling arc flash and shock exposures and preventing serious electrical injuries.
Description
The Arc Flash NFPA 70E Safety Program provides a structured electrical safety framework for employees who perform work on or near electrical conductors, circuit parts, and equipment where arc flash or electric shock hazards may exist. It establishes responsibilities for management, qualified persons, supervisors, employees, host employers, and contract employers and addresses electrical hazard assessment, work planning, qualification, and control of energized electrical work.
The program addresses arc flash and shock risk assessments, arc flash and approach boundaries, job briefings, energized electrical work permits, electrically safe work conditions, arc-rated clothing and PPE, voltage-rated gloves and other rubber insulating equipment, insulated tools, test instruments, equipment condition, restricted work areas, and emergency response. It also establishes requirements for inspecting and maintaining electrical protective equipment and coordinating electrical hazard information between host and contract employers.
Provided in editable Microsoft Word format, the program can be customized for your company’s electrical operations, equipment, qualified-person responsibilities, electrical PPE, and work practices. It can be incorporated into a comprehensive Safety Manual or used as a standalone Arc Flash NFPA 70E Safety Program.
