Abstract
- For the past decade, the discussion of occupational electrical safety in the U.S. has largely focused on compliance with NFPA70E, <bold>Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace</bold>. Without taking away from the importance of the requirements in the standard, this paper describes a more comprehensive solution, based on proven concepts derived from systems safety engineering. This paper provides an overview of systems safety engineering and includes a 20 $+$ year case history of a global Fortune 500 company's effort to change the electrical safety culture in its operations to demonstrate results of applying systems safety techniques to electrical safety.
