Safety Program Development
Don’t have a documented Electrical Safety Program?
OSHA and other standards explain what the worker has to do, where a safety program tells the worker how to do it. Lacking or insufficient safety programs can lead to employee injury, lost work, disability, or death. In addition to the harm to employees, the employer would likely be subject to lawsuits.
Service Details
Without a properly documented safety program, workers are placed at increased risk and employers take on increased liability if an incident were to occur.
Writing a safety program comes with a lot of liability to ensure capturing all requirements and can be a daunting task for someone to take on without expert assistance.
- Safety Programs need to take into account all of the applicable federal, state, and local laws and requirements. With so many standards effecting electrical safety, we recommend using our expertise in knowledge of the standards and application of the requirements in the field.
- The unique terminology and breadth of application of these standards can make writing a usable and compliant ESP challenging without the experience and expertise we offer. Our experts are happy to work with you on in order to customize your ESP to meet your organization’s unique needs and ensure that it adequately protects both the employer and the workers.
- A properly written safety program provides clear expectations, guidance, and work practices to be utilized by workers on a daily basis, providing the foundation for a healthy safety culture.
- A fully developed and implemented safety program is only effective if it is properly trained and communicated to the workers that are affected by that program.
NFPA 70E article 110.5 requires that “The employer shall implement and document an overall electrical safety program that directs activity appropriate to the risk associated with electrical hazards.”

SAFETY PROGRAM AUDITS
When audits are performed by in-house personnel, often little time is allocated to perform the audit adequately and there can be hesitance to identify issues or raise concerns. This function is best performed by a third party to alleviate the extra responsibility of conducting the audits and ensuring that potential safety issues are properly identified and documented.
