The 2027 edition of NFPA 70E®, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace®, is now available! It was released digitally in NFPA LiNK® on May 6, 2026—the same day it became effective according to the NFPA Standards Council.
In our latest video, Corey Hannahs, Master Electrician and Electrical Technical Lead at NFPA, discusses a major update in the 2027 edition: the new requirement for a second person, trained in emergency response, to be present whenever justified energized work is performed under an Energized Electrical Work Permit (EEWP). Tune in to hear Corey’s insights on how this change, when properly applied, will advance electrical safety worldwide.
