The 2015 edition of the NFPA 70E standard includes a major change in how stakeholders evaluate electrical risk -- so that owners, managers, and employees can work together to ensure an electrically safe working area and comply with OSHA 1910 Subpart S and OSHA 1926 Subpart K.
Throughout the standard, the phrase "risk assessment" replaces the phrase "hazard analysis," with NFPA saying this has been done "to enable a shift in awareness about the potential for failure."
There are updated tables, a new subsection in 130.2 (A)(4) that provides requirements where normal operation of electric equipment is permitted, and Annex E has been updated to correlate with the redefined terminology associated with hazard and risk.

Speaker:
Hugh Hoagland, Managing partner of e-Hazard Management LLC and President of ArcWear.com in Louisville, Ky. e-Hazard's electrical safety training is used by more NFPA 70E members than any other program, and ArcWear does most of the world's arc testing at Kinectrics Lab in Toronto. Hugh's training is widely followed since it does not promote any specific PPE but is the most conversant training on the real issues safety directors and end users face with in complying with the NFPA 70E standard and the National Electrical Safety Code.
