OSHA Electrical Safety Requirements: Is Arc-Flash Hazard Analysis Enough?
|
Arc flash explosions are a major cause of death and injury among workers performing routine maintenance and/or inspections of electrical equipment. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the main cause of electrocution of electrical workers from 1992 to 1999 was contact with "live" (energized) equipment and wiring.
This audio conference will clarify the electrical safety requirements of OSHA. Employer and employee responsibilities and expectations will be highlighted and discussed to satisfy OSHA regulations and contribute to a safer worker environment. Topics will include; the role of NFPA70E in meeting OSHA regulations; the difference between an electrical hazard analysis and an arc-flash hazard analysis; what other electrical hazards must be identified and minimized; what are employer responsibilities; and what qualifications and expectations are required of employees.
Some common misconceptions about an electrical hazard analysis and arc-flash hazard analysis will be analyzed and discussed. How to minimize arc-flash hazards and select proper personal protective equipment will also be discussed.
