What does NFPA 70E specifically address?

NFPA 70E specifically addresses electrical safety in the workplace and outlines recommended practices to minimize electrical hazards. It is focused on ensuring that electrical workers are protected from shock, arc flash, and other electrical hazards while performing their tasks. The standard provides guidelines for safe work practices, training, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with or near energized electrical equipment. By emphasizing safety protocols and risk assessments, NFPA 70E aims to create a safer work environment for electricians and other personnel involved in electrical work.

This focus on safety differentiates it from other standards, such as those related to architectural standards, energy efficiency, or environmental impacts, which fall under different regulatory frameworks and standards.
