ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAMS

Electrical Safety Programs are intended to protect all personnel from electrical shock, arc-flash, and fire hazards of electrical origin. The programs are also intended to ensure compliance to OSHA electrical safety requirements published as Federal Law in the Code of Federal Regulations 29 CFR 1910.

An Electrical Safety Program must apply to all employees, contractors, and vendors that may be exposed to electrical hazards in the course of performing their work including examination, maintenance, repair, diagnostics,troubleshooting, calibrating, and installation.  NFPA 70E 110.7 (A) General The employer shall implement an overall electrical safety program that directs activity appropriate for the voltage, energy level, and circuit conditions.

Martin Technical will save you hundreds of hours developing an Electrical Safety Program. With an extensive background in electrical safety and training Martin Technical will recommend detailed topics and language, specific to your facility that should be included in your Electrical Safety Program.

PURPOSE
Electrical Safety Programs are developed to prevent electrical injuries to all personnel in the workplace. The implementation of and adherence to the program creates an electrically safe workplace to ensure all employees, contractors, and visitors are protected from electrical hazards capable of causing injury or death.
