What You Need to Know About NFPA 70E

NFPA 70E is the nationally recognized standard for electrical safety in the workplace. It outlines requirements for:

Arc Flash Hazard Analysis
Proper use of PPE and labeling
Electrical safety training for employees
Documentation and safety program implementation

Why It Matters: OSHA references NFPA 70E when evaluating workplace electrical safety. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines, liability, and increased risk of accidents.

C&H Services to Support NFPA 70E Compliance

Arc Flash Hazard Analysis

An Arc Flash Hazard Analysis is the foundation of NFPA 70E compliance. Our team conducts detailed system studies to identify potential arc flash hazards, calculate incident energy levels, and determine the correct boundaries and personal protective equipment (PPE) required. We also provide arc flash warning labels for your equipment to keep workers informed and compliant. This proactive approach not only meets OSHA and NFPA 70E requirements but also protects employees from severe injuries and reduces facility liability.

One-Line Diagrams

Accurate one-line diagrams are essential for understanding and safely operating your electrical system. NFPA 70E requires that facilities maintain up-to-date documentation of their power distribution. We create or update one-line diagrams to ensure your facility has clear, accurate system records. These diagrams support safer maintenance, faster troubleshooting, and compliance with OSHA inspections — ultimately minimizing downtime and keeping your electrical infrastructure transparent and manageable.

Infrared Thermography

Infrared thermography is a proven predictive maintenance method that aligns with NFPA 70E’s emphasis on proactive hazard identification. Using specialized infrared cameras, we scan electrical panels, switchgear, and connections to detect hotspots caused by loose or overloaded components. These issues are invisible to the naked eye but can lead to dangerous failures or fires if not addressed. By catching problems early, infrared thermography helps facilities avoid unplanned outages, improve safety, and stay in compliance with NFPA 70E maintenance guidelines.

Switchgear Maintenance

Switchgear is the heart of your facility’s electrical system — and regular switchgear maintenance is required to meet NFPA 70E safety standards. Our technicians perform inspections, cleaning, lubrication, and testing to ensure your equipment operates reliably and safely. Proper switchgear maintenance not only extends equipment life but also reduces the risk of electrical faults that could trigger arc flash incidents. We tailor our maintenance programs to your facility’s needs, helping you stay compliant while ensuring mission-critical uptime.
