Sumario: The risks of shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast are a significant health and safety concern in the workplace. Many electrical incidents could have been prevented through compliance with the latest safety codes and standards. NFPA 70E®, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace®, is a critical document to help provide a working area for employees that is safe from unacceptable risk associated with the use of electricity in the workplace. With the release of the latest edition for 2021, NFPA 70E clearly establishes safety processes that use policies, procedures, and program controls to reduce these risks to an acceptable level. The core objective is practical, accomplishable electrical safety that helps ensure the employee goes home safe at the end of the day. The risk controls discussed in this standard are intended to be sound, viable, workable applications of safety procedures and policies to be implemented by both the employer and employee. The requirements at the heart of NFPA 70E are suitable for use and implementation by agencies and employers charged with the responsibility of electrical safety plan development, implementation, and maintenance
