NCARF Member Question

 

HVO has just been advised via a voluntary OSHA inspection that an addition to the "national electrical code"  (NFPA 70E) may have a major affect on our operations and on all CRP's in North Carolina.  The code addresses "Arc Flash" requirements which includes "assessment, hazard analysis, protective clothing" requirements.  According to the OSHA inspector there are limited approved entities that can perform the "Arc Flash" assessments and ours would be in the "six figure" range to do HVO.
 
Now, without saying we were all taken aback by this information.  We're currently and with haste exploring this new electrical code.  Secondly, I would like to have any information that you or our members have on this issue.  This could be potentially devastating to so many organizations in the state. 
 
I would appreciate any information that you may be able to acquire on this subject.  If you should need more information, please contact me at gmarshall@hvoinc.com. 
 
Thank you,
 
George M. Marshall
President
