NFPA 70e & OSHA
- da: Harold Tuchel
- destinatario: Secretary Dept of Labor
Petition to protest NFPA70E and request that OSHA more carefully review NFPA 70E standards for flash protection, especially at the lower therm levels.
Although studies show that there are still shock and flash injuries happening a catchall flash dress- out is an over-reaction due to the following conditions
A. No studies have been cited showing flash or shock are happening due to poor work practice on the part of the electrician, or a corrective action!
B. No studies show flash or shock are happening due to improper training or work procedure,or corrective action.
C. No studies or data are shown or have been presented studying the possible hazards of heat stress due to dressing out constantly.
D. No studies have been undertaken showing the reduced productivity
due to either dressing out to troubleshoot or constantly wearing flash gear.
The premise of this petition is that NFPA70e is a punishing and flawed reaction to flash and shock injury that will harm the American industry and does NOTHING to upgrade trade skills, training, or safety procedures. That OSHA has adopted the NFPA as a standard rather than creating its own!

The premise of this petition is that NFPA70e is a punishing and flawed reaction to flash and shock injury that will harm the American industry and does NOTHING to upgrade trade skills, training, or safety procedures.That flash standards under NFPA70E make troubleshooting live electrical circuits 480v and below virtually impossible. That OSHA has adopted the NFPA as a standard rather than creating its own!
