Energized Electrical Work Permit Requirements - NFPA 70E

A machine is malfunctioning in your workplace, requiring you to troubleshoot the issue and determine the appropriate repairs. One of your first steps in diagnosing the problem is to take a voltage measurement using your digital multimeter (DMM) to determine if you're getting the proper voltage on both the line and load sides. The nominal voltage (phase to phase) on this equipment is 480 VAC. To perform this task, you will be wearing all of the required electric shock and arc flash PPE, as well as implementing other necessary safe work practices. Per NFPA 70E, does this task (testing, troubleshooting, and voltage measuring) require you to complete an energized electrical work permit?

What's the minimum required fall clearance?

Let's test your fall protection knowledge! Using a 2-foot safety margin, what is the minimum required fall clearance for a worker who is 6' 0" tall and is using a 6-foot shock-absorbing lanyard that's attached to a common Type A anchor point located 2 feet above the worker's dorsal D-ring? In this scenario, there is no swing fall hazard, and there are no obstructions below the worker aside from the lower level itself. NOTE: Fall clearance is the amount of space you need below a worker to ensure they don't hit a lower level. This is an EXTREMELY common scenario (tying off with a 6-foot lanyard), so it's important to understand how to calculate total fall distances/required clearances.
