A User's Guide to Electrical PPE: Based on NFPA 70E®

Analyze risks and work smart! Every electrician on the job needs the User's Guide to Electrical PPE.

This full-color manual to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a "must" for the practicing electrical contractor or electrician. Based on NFPA 70E®: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace® and written by Ray Jones, the top ranking expert in electrical safety, A User's Guide to Electrical PPE helps workers and supervisors competently analyze risks and take the action needed to avoid electrical contract injuries.

Be sure you can choose equipment that will reduce or eliminate the risk of shock and electrocution, arc flash, arc blast, and other hazards.

PPE goes beyond voltage-rated gloves, shoes, and boots. In fact, author Ray Jones contends that any equipment used to help recognize or evaluate a hazard is also Personal Protective Equipment. In this must-have Guide, easy-to-understand text explains potentially life-saving concepts such as:

• How protective clothing and tools work together to create a barrier between workers and the identified jobsite hazards
• How NFPA 70E and OSHA rules help employers and safety directors comply with today's worker safety requirements
