NECA Safety Meeting App Update(s) |
The NECA Safety App delivers a robust, useful array of functional components that directly address contractors' needs in the field. Just recently, with the knowledge and expertise of NECA's Michael Johnston (NECA, Executive Director, Codes and Standards) and Jim Dollard (IBEW Local 98 Safety Coordinator, Retired), the NECA Safety App was expanded to include three essential components that focus specifically on employer requirements in NFPA 70E. The app will now provide components that provide a required set of procedures for:
- Lockout Tagout Processes (LOTO)
- Developing a Required Energized Electrical Work Permit (EEWP)
- Performing a Shock and Arc-flash Risk Assessment (SAFRA)
All are required by NFPA 70E to align with OSHA regulations.
