Abstract

In 1996, the PCIC Electrochemical Cell Line Working Group completed a proposal for NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces, to add Part IV, Safety Requirements for Special Equipment; Chapter 2, Safety-Related Work Practices for Electrolytic Cells. This paper explains the safety-related work practices for electrolytic cells included in the proposal. Differences between NFPA 70E, part II and part IV practices are explained. Current application of OSHA 1910 Subpart S, IEEE 463-Standard for Safety Practices in Electrolytic Cell Line Working Zones and this proposal are discussed. Proposals for NFPA 70E were due to NFPA by July 3, 1998.
