Flash protection calc's, PPE, stickers & signs are all fine and well.
As one digs deeper into it, 70E, subpart S, there is one fundamental flaw that will almost ensure future mishaps. That is the inability of the *employee doing the work to make the call to shut what's being worked on off.

The fact that this absolutley gray definition of 'qualified' turns up along with 110.16 simply insinuates protection from liability to the powers that be.

The obvious undertone being if one has a mishap, said individual in not 'qualified'.

* Key word...


If you feel this should be amended, we can get together right here and pound out an ROP.
