NFPA 70E was originally developed at OSHA's request to address ______ hazards in the workplace.

• A. Electrical hazards
• B. Chemical hazards
• C. Physical hazards
• D. Biological hazards

Answer: (A)

NFPA 70E concentrates on electrical hazards in the workplace and on how to protect workers from them through safe work practices, training, and appropriate PPE. It was developed at OSHA's request to provide a practical standard for electrical safety, covering the risks of shock and arc flash, procedures for working on energized equipment, risk assessment, and the controls needed to reduce these hazards. This focus on electrical energy and its dangers is what makes it the right fit for addressing electrical hazards specifically. It doesn’t primarily target chemical, physical, or biological hazards, which are governed by different standards or guidelines.
