Are you a safety professional struggling to understand and apply the requirements of NFPA 70E? Are you an electrical professional struggling to understand and apply current safety practices? If you’re either of these, the 2018 edition of NFPA 70E is for you. This session will guide you through the evolution of NFPA 70E so you can be at the top of your electrical safety game. It also will demonstrate how one organization has developed and implemented an electrical safety program that incorporates the requirements of NFPA 70E – as well as more stringent measures such as giving employees the authority to stop work in any situation if they deem the task unsafe. This level of authority empowers employees to think about safety first – never last.
