Employers, electricians, electrical system designers, inspectors, engineers and architects must comply with safety standards listed in the National Electrical Code, OSHA and NFPA 70E. Unfortunately, the publications which list these safety requirements are written in very technically advanced terms and the average person has an extremely difficult time understanding exactly what they need to Electrical engineeringSafety measuresIndustrial safetyElectrical engineeringStandardsUnited StatesElectric apparatus and appliancesSafety measuresElectrical engineeringSafety measures.Industrial safety.Electrical engineeringStandardsElectric apparatus and appliancesSafety measures.621.319/240289Keller K.
