NFPA report: Electrical safety varies widely from state to state
Across America, states vary widely in how promptly, or even if, they adopt the latest edition of NFPA 70: National Electrical Code® (NEC®). Not adhering to the latest edition can lead to serious shortfalls in electrical safety for citizens and a failure to protect first responders and workers from preventable dangers.
Underscoring these concerns is a new NFPA Fire & Life Safety Policy Institute report, “Falling Behind on Electrical Safety,” that includes a review of state practices and interviews with industry professionals.
