90.2 (A)
This standard addresses electrical safety-related
work practices for employee workplaces that are
necessary for the practical safeguarding of
employees relative to the hazards associated with
electrical energy during activities such as the
installation, inspection, operation, maintenance, and
demolition of electric conductors, electric
equipment, signaling and communications
conductors and equipment, and raceways.
90.2 (A)
This standard also includes safe work practices for
employees performing other work activities that can
expose them to electrical hazards as well as safe work
practices for the following:
(1) Installation of conductors and equipment that connect
90.5(C)
New Definition
Article 110
General Requirement for Electrical Safety
Related Work Practices
110.1(C) Relations with Outside Contractors
Documentation. There shall be a documented
meeting between the host employer and the
contract employer.
110.2(C) Training
Employees exposed to shock hazards and
those employees responsible for taking
action in case of emergency shall be
trained in methods of release of victims
from contact with exposed energized
electrical conductors or circuit parts.
Training Following training to be certified
annually CPR & AED.

110.2(D)(3) Retraining
Retraining shall be performed at intervals not
to exceed 3 years
110.3(F)
Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
Procedure
110.3(F)
Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
Procedure:
The procedure shall identify the process to be
used by the employee before work is started to
identify hazards and assess risks, including
potential risk mitigation strategies.
110.4(B)(3)(d) New
Added Informational Note:
The hazard/risk evaluation procedure should
include identifying when the use of portable tools
and equipment powered by sources other than
120 volts ac such as batteries, air, hydraulics,
etc. should be used to minimize the potential for
injury from electrical hazards for tasks performed
in conductive or wet locations.
Article 130
Work Involving Electrical Hazards
130.1 All requirements of this article shall apply
whether an incident energy analysis is
completed or if Table 130.7(C)(15)(a), Table
130.7(C)(15)(b), and Table 130.7(C)(16) are
utilized in lieu of an incident energy analysis in
accordance with 130.5, Exception.
Article 130.7(C)(15)
Informational notes 1 and 3
Note No. 2: The collective experience of the
task group is that in most cases closed doors do
not provide enough protection to eliminate the
need for PPE for instances where the state of
the equipment is known to readily change (e.g.,
doors open or closed, rack in or rack out).
Note No. 3: The premise used by the Task
Group is considered to be reasonable, based on
the consensus judgment of the full NFPA 70E
Technical Committee.
