NFPA 70E REQUIREMENTS: PROTECTION FROM ELECTRICAL ARC EXPOSURES
Everyday work clothing made from regular cotton or poly/cotton fabrics, regardless of weight, can be readily ignited at some exposure level and will continue to burn. A major portion of severa and fatal burn injuries from electrical arc incidents do not come from the exposure, but from non-flame resistant clothing igniting and continuing to burn, becoming the hazard itself. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) published the latest edition of the 70E standard (Standard for Electrical Safetly Requirements for Employee Workplaces). The revised version now requires employees to wear flame resistant (FR) protective clothing when working on or near energized parts. This includes everyday job tasts such as voltage testing on 240V and 480V system. INDURA Ultra Soft 7oz, 9oz, and 11oz fabrics used in shirts, pants, coveralls, and outerwear can simplify compliance to NPFA 70E Hazard Risk Categories 0, 1, and 2 as a single layer. Additionally, Indura Ultra Soft fabrics meet the requirements to ASTM F1506 (Standard Performance Specification for Textile Materials for Wearing Apparel for use by Electrical Workers Exposed to Momentary Arc and Related Thermal Hazards). OSHA has confirmed that garments that meet the requirements of ASTM F1506 are compliant to NFPA 70E and also to OSHA 29 CRF 1910.269 (Electrical Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution) for Electric Utility Companies Compliance. |
