Compliance with OSHA's Electrical Safety Standards, Recently Proposed Changes and NFPA 70E Training Seminar
On June 15, 2005 OSHA proposed new and revised electrical safety rules that should be of concern to every employer governed by OSHA standards. Under the proposed rules, OSHA would complicate the highly controversial area of multi-employer worksite liability. The rules would require communications between the host employer and the contractor regarding the existence and correction of contractor violations of OSHA standards.
These written communications, which could be requested by OSHA inspectors, could make it easier for OSHA to impose liability under the multi-employer worksite doctrine. The proposed rules would also permit OSHA to cite a contractor for failing to enforce safety requirements in the contract with the host employer that go beyond OSHA requirements.
The proposed rules would update the current electrical practices for power generation, transmission and distribution to incorporate recent changes in NFPA 70E related to protection of employees working on electrical equipment from hazards associated with electric arcs. They would also overhaul the construction industry rules so that they generally follow the general industry rules governing power generation, transmission and distribution. Substantial changes in practices and protective equipment could be required if the changes are adopted as proposed.
Meanwhile, there is an internal debate at OSHA as to whether compliance with some aspects of the flame-resistant clothing requirements of NFPA 70E is already required by OSHA's General Personal Protective Equipment Standard. Finally, OSHA is expected to issue and request public comment on the draft of its overhauled and greatly expanded compliance instruction on lockout/tagout shortly.
Learning Objectives:- List host-contractor communications required under the proposal, and the potential impact on Multi-Employer Worksite Issues
- Describe the potential effect of OSHA enforcement of safety-related work rules in private contracts
- Identify new training requirements that would be imposed by the changes
- Define changes that would be required by adoption of the NFPA 70E requirements, the hazards addressed by the proposal, and the potential costs associated with implementing those changes
- Describe general electrical safety practices and how those practices would have to change to conform to the proposed rules
- Recognize the changes in protective equipment that would be required and balancing the risks
