I have been working with electrical power systems at a multinational Fortune 500 consumer goods manufacturing company for more than 40 years, and have the responsibility of establishing an NFPA 70E Electrical Safety Program at our sites worldwide. Of course, driving culture change is a difficult proposition, especially if the workforce or management doesn’t fully understand electrical hazards and the safeguards that are needed. The NFPA 70E Standard has heightened awareness of the hazard, but much more work needs to be done to educate safety professionals, engineers and the employees that work on or near energized parts and equipment; and one of the key areas is clothing.
