Based on NFPA 70E®, NEC®, NFPA 70B® & OSHA 1910.300

• 2. Determine electrical system & electrical safety compliance with:
  • NFPA 70® The National Electrical Code
  • NFPA 70E®
  • NFPA 79®
  • NFPA 70B®
  • OSHA 1910.331-335
• 3. Review and provide corrective actions for electrical safety work processes.
• 4. Review and provide corrective actions for electrical maintenance tools.
• 5. Provide a best practice path for implementing corrective actions.
• 6. Identify potential cost savings and efficiencies through modifications of electrical system.

This report is conducted by an electrical safety specialist who has a strong understanding of these various regulations, codes and standards, who is also field experienced in electrical plant environments.

Each site visit will entail an inspection of electrical equipment and installations to identify items from the service point of your buildings down through the feeder circuits to various branch circuits. Employees will be interviewed and work practices observed for compliance with electrical safety work practices.

• • Itemized observations in which CFR or NFPA standards not being met
  • Illustrated / photograph of specific problem, when applicable
  • Recommended corrective action for each standard not being met
  • Critical Ranking on a subjective scale of 1 to 3 of each standard not being met. This ranking will serve as a “to do list” that maintenance and engineering teams can use as “road map” to corrective action.
• Appendix of additional information to help implement recommended corrective actions.
• Excel spreadsheet with report data for quick reading or uploading to safety management programs.
• Copies of all photos taken with reference to their specific code deviation.
• Final Report will be submitted within three (3) weeks after the assessment.
• Consultation on Report and Recommended Corrective Actions.

3.2 Support for LFMC

Rating	Item #	Description of Deficiency
3	3.2	Unsupported & Damaged LFMC conduit

3.2 Observation: LFMC is improperly supported which can lead to cuts, corrosion & peeling as seen below. The NEC Code requires supporting within 12” of each box and every 4’6” after. Many areas where LMFC is used should have rigid conduit instead.

NEC 350.12 Uses Not Permitted. LFMC shall not be used as follows: (1) Where subject to physical damage NEC 350.30 (A) Securing and Supporting. Securely Fastened. LFMC shall be securely fastened in place by an approved means within 300 mm (12 in.) of each box, cabinet, conduit body, or other conduit termination and shall be supported and secured at intervals not to exceed 1.4 m (41⁄2 ft). Recommended Corrective Actions:

• Replace with rigid conduit where possible
• Shorten the runs where possible and use proper mounts/clamps
• Use conduit supports where needed
