NFPA 70E
The Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, published by the National Fire Protection Association, which provides guidelines for protecting workers from electrical hazards.
Detailed Explanation
While the NEC (NFPA 70) covers electrical installation standards, NFPA 70E covers worker safety practices. It defines shock protection boundaries (limited approach, restricted approach, and prohibited approach), arc flash hazard analysis requirements, and PPE categories. NFPA 70E is the basis for OSHA enforcement of electrical safety in the workplace. All electrical contractors should be familiar with its requirements.
