Abstract
This chapter examines the most significant of the standards from an electrical engineering perspective. The Unites States Departments of Labor and Energy have played a key role in establishing federal standards affecting a large portion of the American population. Through legislative mandate, those Cabinet Level Agencies have produced and enforced significant workplace occupational health and safety standards and residential/commercial/industrial energy efficiency standards. Two of the most far-reaching occupational health and safety standards established by the US Department of Labor are 29 CFR Part 1910, Occupational Safety and Health Standards, and 29 CFR Part 1926, Safety and Health Regulations for Construction. Electrical related sections from both of those standards are examined in the chapter. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 was established as law on December 29, 1970, and has been amended several times.
