An authority on safety, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) develops, publishes, and disseminates more than 300 consensus codes and standards intended to minimize risk, including NFPA 70E – the standard for electrical safety in the workplace. The 2015 edition of NFPA 70E bought major changes you need to be aware of. Get the most up-to-date information at CBT Company’s NFPA 70E Training course.
NFPA 70E encompasses safety-related work practices, safety-related maintenance requirements, and safety requirements for special equipment.
