How Does the Government Judge the Safety of Your Workplace?
As a leader in electrical testing and implementing electrical safety programs, we at National Field Services are often asked by clients about the legal requirements of electrical safety programs. How does the federal government judge compliance? We're electrical engineers, not lawyers, so we can't provide a legally definitive answer. But we can clearly demonstrate how OSHA leans heavily on NFPA 70E (NFPA's Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) to determine if an employer is in compliance with the electrical safety requirements of the Department of Labor.
