Many employers may not need to fully or even partially implement the provisions of 70E however, if any employees are working on live electrical equipment operating at greater than 50 volts, it is very likely the critical elements of 70E apply to any workplace where this is occurring. Further, a compliance officer may and likely will reference the document in order to issue a citation when or where a reportable accident occurs or if an electrical safety hazard is observed during an OSHA inspection, and the document’s guidance is found to apply. While all employers are not required to implement NFPA 70 E standards by any specific OSHA regulation, the document provides critical instruction for providing safe conditions while working with electric equipment. The National Fire Protection Association’s document (NFPA) 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace is the prevailing standard on electrical safety in the workplace. To be clear, a balaclava is not a Greek dessert it’s a head garment, and employees might be required to wear one when working on live, high voltage equipment.
