1 When Your Life is on the Line You Need the Best Arc Flash & Electrical Shock Protection from Head to Toe Meeting OSHA 29 CFR 1910, Subpart S-Electrical & NFPA 70E Standard SALISBURY

2 Protection from Electrical Shock and Arc Flash Every day in the US, 5 to 10 electrical workers are sent to a burn center. The need for a comprehensive electrical safety program has never been more critical. OSHA Regulations and the NFPA 70E Standard have been established to protect workers from electrical shock and arc flash hazards and to educate workers about the protection needed from these dangers. For example, the NFPA 70E Standard specifies boundaries within which arc flash protection is required for workers involved in the maintenance of energized or potentially energized electrical equipment. All personnel within the defined boundaries must wear specified protective equipment, even on circuits as low as 50 volts. These standards and regulations MUST be met, and Salisbury has made it easy to meet them. Only SALISBURY can provide the complete list of Personal Protective Equipment required to protect workers against electrical hazards as defined by OSHA Regulations and the NFPA 70E 2004 Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. All the Arc and Shock Protection PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) needed to meet the safety standards are offered in convenient kits, or individually, categorized by the Hazard Risk Category for each job. All Salisbury electrical safety products comply with ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) specifications and OSHA regulations.

3 Information About OSHA 29CFR 1910, Subpart S-Electrical & NFPA 70E 2004 Hazard Assessment Tools Establishing An Electrical Safety Work Program SALISBURY your complete safety solution. Protection from Arc Flash and Electric Shock. Meeting OSHA Regulations and the NFPA 70E Standard. The following information will give you a better understanding of the NFPA 70E standard, why it s important and what is needed to meet its requirements. It will also provide you with the pertinent questions needed to ask when selecting the appropriate equipment required. Q 1. Do you know what the NFPA is? NFPA stands for National Fire Protection Association. Q 2. Are you familiar with the NFPA 70E standard? This standard addresses those electrical safety requirements for employee workplaces for the practical safeguarding of employees in their pursuit of gainful employment. The NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace is designed to identify electrical hazards and how to deal with them, which can be of help to establish an elctrical safety program. Q 3. Do you have an electrical safety program in place? The NFPA 70E standard describes safety related work practices and maintenance requirements, to help you develop an electrical safety program to protect employees from the hazards of electrical shock and arc flash. You must establish a program that protects against shock and arc flash per OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S-Electrical. Before you can establish your electrical safety work program you must perform a hazard assessment to identify potential hazards and the degree of protection required to safeguard employees. A hazard assessment can be determined by one of the three following methods: Method 1 Refer to NFPA 70E 130.3(A), including the tables 130.7(C)(9)(a) and 130.7(C)(10), Flash Hazard Analysis Method 2 Use an industry accepted software to perform your hazard assessment. Method 3 Use a consulting firm to determine your hazard assessment. Once your hazard assessment is complete you will know your Hazard Risk Category (HRC) which is given in a number ranging from 0-4. Then the proper protective apparel for the job can be determined by utilizing this HRC number. Please refer to NFPA 70E 2004 Table 130.7(C)(10) and Table 130.7(C)(11) for this information. 3

11 Definitions Arc Flash: An arcing fault is the flow of current through the air between phase conductors or phase conductors and neutral or ground. An arcing fault can release tremendous amounts of concentrated radiant energy at the point of the arcing in a small fraction of a second resulting in extremely high temperatures, a tremendous pressure blast, and shrapnel hurling at high velocity (in excess of 700 miles per hour). ASTM: American Society for Testing and Materials ATPV Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV): This value is presented in calories per square centimeter and represents the maximum capability for arc flash protection of a particular garment. This rating also applies to fabrics. However, a garment made from more that one layer of arc flash rated fabric will have a calories per square centimeter rating greater than the sum of the ATPV ratings of the original fabrics. The calories per square centimeter rating of most arc flash protective suits, coveralls, and coats is commonly sewn into the fabric in large letters on the outside of the garment. cal/cm² Calories per Centimeter Squared: This is a number identifying the amount of energy that can be delivered to a point at a particular distance from an arc flash. Once this value is known, the ATPV rating of the flash clothing required for work at that distance from the potential flash hazard is also known. See ATPV. Calorie: A calorie is the energy required to raise one gram of water one degree Celsius at one atmosphere. The onset of second-degree burns may occur at 1.2 calories per centimeter squared per second. One calorie per centimeter squared per second, can be equal to holding your finger over the tip of the flame of a cigarette lighter for one second. Deenergized: Free from any electrical connection to a source of potential difference and from electrical charge; not having a potential different from that of the earth. Electrical Hazard: A dangerous condition such that contact of equipment failure can result in electric shock, arc flash burn, thermal burn, or blast. Electrical Safety: Recognizing hazards associated with the use of electrical energy and taking precautions so that hazards do not cause injury or death. Electrically Safe work condition: A state in which the conductor or circuit part to be worked on or near has been disconnected from energized parts locked/tagged in accordance with established standards, tested to ensure the absence of voltage, and grounded if determined necessary. Flame-Resistant (FR): The property of a material whereby combustion is prevented, terminated, or inhibited following the application of a flaming or non-flaming source of ignition, with or without subsequent removal of the ignition source. Flash Hazard: A dangerous condition associated with the release of energy caused by an electric arc. Flash Hazard Analysis: A study investigating a worker s potential exposure to arc-flash energy, conducted for the purpose of injury prevention and the determination of safe work practices and the appropriate levels of PPE. Flash Protection Boundary: An approach limit at a distance from exposed live parts within which a person could receive a second degree burn if an electrical arc flash were to occur. Flash Suit: A complete FR clothing and equipment system that covers the entire body, except for the hands and feet. This includes pants, jacket, and bee-keeper-type hood fitted with a face shield. HRC Hazard Risk Category: This is a 2004 NFPA 70E rating of exposure levels for particular types of equipment. The values range from zero to four, with a zero HRC not requiring any ATPV-rated PPE. The minimum ATPV rating for Categories One through Four are as follows: Category 1: 4 cal/cm² Category 2: 8 cal/cm² Category 3: 25 cal/cm² Category 4: 40 ccal/cm² IEEE: The Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers (IEEE) (Note: IEEE Guide to Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations.) Incident Energy: The amount of energy impressed on a surface, a certain distance from the source, generated during an electrical arc event. One of the units used to measure incident energy is calories per centimeter squared (cal/cm2). Limited Approach Boundary: An approach limit at a distance from an exposed live part within which a shock hazard exists. NEC The National Electrical Code: The NFPA Standard The National Electrical Code (NEC) (Note: paragraph contains requirements for warning labels) NFPA: The National Fire Protection Association NFPA 70E Standard: Standard that provides guidance on implementing appropriate work practices that are required to safeguard workers from injury while working on or near exposed electrical conductors or circuit parts that could become energized.
