DOE HANDBOOK
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
FOREWORD
1. This Department of Energy (DOE) Handbook is approved for use by the Office of
Health, Safety and Security and is available to all DOE components and their
contractors.
2. Specific comments (recommendations, additions, deletions, and any pertinent data) to
enhance this document should be sent to:

3. This DOE Electrical Safety Handbook replaces the DOE Electrical Safety Handbook
that was originally issued in 1998, and revised in 2004. DOE handbooks are part of
the DOE directives system and are issued to provide supplemental information
regarding the Department's expectations for fulfilling its requirements as contained in
rules, orders, notices, and regulatory standards. The handbooks may also provide
acceptable methods for implementing those requirements. Handbooks are not
substitutes for requirements, nor do they replace technical standards that are used to
describe established practices and procedures for implementing requirements.
4. This updated handbook contains DOE-developed explanatory material in support of
national electrical safety codes and standards, including those referenced in the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) in 10 CFR 851, Worker Safety and Health Program.
Sections of this handbook were revised and relocated within the handbook for
improved clarity of information. This document references the most recent version of
each code and standard at the time of development, recognizing that newer versions
are invariably improved and provide increased safety over previous versions. 10 CFR
851 references the 2005 edition of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70,
the National Electrical Code (NEC), and the 2004 edition of the Standard for Electrical
Safety in the Workplace (NFPA 70E). This document, however, references the 2008
NEC and the 2009 NFPA 70E versions. Each site must ensure, through review, that
its implementation of the newer versions meets the intent of 10 CFR 851. In addition
other electrical codes and standards utilized in this handbook include: 29 CFR 1910,
Subpart S, Occupational Safety and Health Standards, Electrical; 29 CFR 1926
Subpart K, Safety and Health Regulations for Construction, Electrical; IEEE/ANSI Std
C2, National Electrical Safety Code (2007); NFPA 70B, Recommended Practice for
Electrical Equipment Maintenance (2010); and others. For a complete list of
references used in this document, see Section 14.
