Electrical Safety Program
Cross-references point to the standards that now own the topic after the October electrical rewrites: MV cable to medium-voltage-cables, energy storage to battery-energy-storage-systems, service grounding to grounding-and-bonding, lightning to lightning-protection.

description: >
When to use: Establishing a facility-level written electrical safety program governing all work on or near energized equipment (50 V and above, from 120 V branch circuits through 15 kV distribution) on commercial, institutional, industrial, and infrastructure projects. Covers arc flash risk assessment methodology, arc flash and approach boundary labeling, energized electrical work permits, lockout/tagout, PPE selection, qualified-person work boundaries, training, and the program review cycle. Addresses both owner-furnished programs under NFPA 70E and contractor-submitted safety program submittals.
− Not intended for: Arc flash incident energy and short-circuit calculations themselves (see [[sync/arc-flash-study]] and [[sync/short-circuit-study]] which produce the labels and PPE assignments this program consumes); general equipment warning-label graphics, fonts, and materials (see [[sync/equipment-labeling]]); pre-energization and commissioning acceptance tests (see [[sync/electrical-acceptance-testing]]); healthcare essential electrical system design (see [[sync/healthcare-essential-electrical-systems]]); kitchen exhaust electrical interlocks (see [[sync/kitchen-exhaust-systems]]); and metal building grounding and bonding (see [[sync/metal-building-systems]]).

## Spare arc flash labels and label stock shall be retained so that labels damaged or made illegible in service can be replaced without delaying work.
