NFPA Standards for Electrical Safety

The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) publishes codes covering fire and electrical safety, and the one most relevant to the gear on this site is NFPA 70E, the standard for electrical safety in the workplace. It governs how employers assess arc-flash risk and select appropriate PPE — including how head, eye, and body protection factor into a broader arc-flash safety strategy — for anyone working near energized electrical equipment. Where a piece of gear is relevant to electrical work, we reference NFPA 70E alongside the ANSI or OSHA standard that applies to that equipment category.
