Electrical

The triad of electrical safety

NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, and NFPA 70B documents have been described as the “three-legged stool” of electrical safety—it’s most effective when all three legs are in place. Remove one, however, and it may no longer be able to stand on its own.

Addressing equipment maintenance

Chapter 2 of NFPA 70E contains requirements for maintenance of equipment that could potentially pose a physical risk to employees if not performed.

Building a preventative maintenance program

NFPA 70B provides a better understanding of the benefits of a well-administered and effective electrical preventive maintenance (EPM) program, and provides a useful framework for recovering electrical systems after a flood.
