As defined in most standards,hazard identification is a component of risk assessment. This revision willalso provide guidance for future revisions of the Standard. This revisionreflects what the category number relates to: a list of arc flash PPE. Manyusers of the document currently refer to a “hazard/risk category number” as a“category number.” This revision will permit the continuance of this practice.ResponseMessage:Public Input No. 172-NFPA 70E-2012 [Global Input]Ballot ResultsThis item has passed ballot24 Eligible Voters023001Not ReturnedAffirmative AllAffirmative with CommentsNegative with CommentsAbstentionAffirmative Fetcher?commentParams %28Comment. 2/28/2013

National Fire Protection Association ReportPage 27 of 480First Revision No. 14-NFPA 70E-2012 [ Section No. 90.2 ]90.2 Scope.(A) Covered.This standard addresses electrical safety-related work practices, safety-relatedmaintenance requirements, and other administrative controls for employeeworkplaces that are necessary for the practical safeguarding of employees relativeto the hazards associated with electrical energy during activities such as theinstallation, inspection, operation, maintenance, and demolition of electricconductors, electric equipment, signaling and communications conductors andequipment, and raceways. This standard also includes safe work practices foremployees performing other work activities that can expose them to electricalhazards as well as safe work practices for the following:(1) Installation of conductors and equipment that connect to the supply ofelectricity(2) Installations used by the electric utility, such as office buildings, warehouses,garages, machine shops, and recreational buildings that are not an integralpart of a generating plant, substation, or control centerThis standard addresses safety of workers whose job responsibilities entail interaction with electricalequipment and systems with potentional exposure to energized electrical equipment and circuit parts.Concepts in this standard are often adapted to other workers whose exposure to electrical hazards isunintentional or not recognized as part of their job responsibilities. The highest risk for injury fromelectrical hazards for other workers involve unintentional contact with overhead power lines andelectric shock from machines, tools, and appliances.(B) Not Covered.This standard does not cover safety-related work practices for the following:(1) Installations in ships, watercraft other than floating buildings, railway rollingstock, aircraft, or automotive vehicles other than mobile homes andrecreational vehicles(2) Installations underground in mines and self-propelled mobile surface miningmachinery and its attendant electrical trailing cable(3) Installations of railways for generation, transformation, transmission, ordistribution of power used exclusively for operation of rolling stock orinstallations used exclusively for signaling and communications purposes(4) Installations of communications equipment under the exclusive control ofcommunications utilities located outdoors or in building spaces usedexclusively for such installations(5) Installations under the exclusive control of an electric utility where suchinstallations:a.Consist of service drops or service laterals, and associated metering, orb.Are located in legally established easements or rights-of-waydesignated by or recognized by public service commissions, utilitycommissions, or other regulatory agencies having jurisdiction for suchinstallations, orc.Are on property owned or leased by the electric utility for the purpose ofcommunications, metering, generation, control, transformation,transmission, or distribution of electric energy, etcher?commentParams %28Comment. 2/28/2013

Based on analysis ofOSHA and workers’ compensation claim data, approximately one half ofelectrical fatalities and injuries involve electrical workers. The newinformational note is intended to alert employers that the electrical safetyprogram must also address other workers. The intent of this revision is toprovide awareness that strict application of this standard within the existingscope may overlook risk to other workers in the covered installations. Thecommittee understands that the Mine Safety and Health Administration hasinformally endorsed the application of NFPA 70E as “Arc Flash AccidentPrevention Best Practices.” The committee understands that the correlatingcommittee has purview over scope statements.ResponseMessage:Public Input No. 354-NFPA 70E-2012 [Section No. 90.2(A)]Public Input No. 369-NFPA 70E-2012 [Section No. 90.2]Ballot ResultsThis item has passed entFetcher?commentParams %28Comment. 2/28/2013
