Electrical safety demands we know the correct answer to one question: Is there voltage? Since a wrong answer can have life threatening consequences, like arc flash, for example - many companies spend time and money making sure they can answer that important question with unerring certainty. When the NFPA published their Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace in the year 2000, that document generated essential changes in the way both electrical and mechanical maintenance is performed in today's industrial and commercial facilities. There is no doubt these changes are positive because injuries and deaths caused by electrical accidents have been significantly reduced. Yet, as with any new regulation, employee productivity has been adversely affected because of the Standard and some in the industry are asking an important question. Can we retain the reduction in injuries and deaths we witnessed because of NFPA 70e while regaining the level of productivity we experienced prior to NFPA 70e? The answer is yes.
