OSHA electrical safety standards are designed to protect employees exposed to dangers such as electric shock, electrocution, fires, and explosions. This is because electricity has long been recognized as a serious workplace hazard. Electrical safety hazards are addressed in specific OSHA electrical safety standards for the general industry, shipyard employment, and marine terminals. OSHA standards, the Regulatory Agenda (a list of actions being taken with regard to OSHA standards), Federal Registers (rules, proposed rules, and notices), directives (instructions for compliance officers), standard interpretations (official letters of interpretation of the standards), and national consensus standards related to electrical hazards.
