Title: Revision and Update of Subpart S--Electrical Standards | |
Abstract: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is planning to revise and update its 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S-Electrical Standards. OSHA will rely heavily on the 2000 Edition of the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA's) 70 E standard for Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces. This revision will provide the first update of Subpart S-Electrical Standard since they were originally published in 1981. OSHA intends to complete this project in several stages. The first stage will cover design safety standards for electrical systems, while the second stage will cover safety-related maintenance requirements and safety requirements for special equipment. It will thus allow the latest technological developments to be considered. Several of these state-of-the-art safety developments will be addressed by OSHA for the first time. OSHA initially believed that the changes in the first stage would not be controversial, and thus had planned to issue a direct final rule. However, as work has progressed, we have determined that this is not the case, and we are preparing an NPRM instead. | |
