Safety is dependent on properly maintained overcurrent protective devices and electrical equipment. Improperly maintained equipment has a higher chance of failure, increasing incident energy, which could increase the risk of injury or death to workers. This is where NFPA 70B, Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance, applies. With the 2023 update, NFPA 70B became a recognized standard instead of a recommended practice, meaning it is now enforceable.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) defines NFPA 70B as a standard that describes preventive maintenance procedures for electrical, electronic, and communication systems and equipment -- such as those used in industrial plants, institutional and commercial buildings, and large multi-family residential complexes -- to prevent equipment failures and worker injuries.

This workshop will cover the 5 main elements of NFPA 70B:

• Maintenance scheduling
• Equipment condition assessment
• Electrical maintenance programs
• Preventive maintenance procedures
• System study intervals

If you are an electrical supervisor, foreman, safety and health personnel, electrical maintenance personnel, or responsible for maintaining equipment maintenance documentation, then you should attend this workshop.
