Session Information

Unlocking the Mystery of NFPA 70E Compliance

Session Type: Pre-Convention Workshops
Track Number: PW-5
Room: E270
Speaker: Palmer Hickman

Date: Saturday, October 04, 2008
Time: 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Description:

This course is targeted towards electrical contractors, their supervisors and safety professionals, and will explore how NFPA 70E can be the solution to electrical PPE compliance. Many of OSHA's electrical PPE requirements are written in performance requirements, requiring worker protection without necessarily indicating how to comply. Topics include coverage of a number of OSHA's requirements related to energized electrical work and how to provide the OSHA-required protection utilizing items such as insulated tools, FR clothing, and rubber & insulating gloves and blankets in accordance with NFPA 70E. Participants will learn why while OSHA is the "shall," many look to 70E as the "how."

Fee: $110 for 4 hours
