Fed Regist. 1981 Jan 16;46(11 Pt 2):4034-76.
In this final standard, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) establishes "Design Safety Standards for Electrical Systems." This standard revises Subpart S of 29 CFR Part 1910 and is intended to simplify and update the former standard. OSHA has determined that electrical hazards in the workplace pose a significant risk of injury or death to employees, and that these regulations which draw heavily on the experience of the National Electrical Code are reasonably necessary to provide protection from these hazards. The final rule places relevant requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) into the text of the regulations, making it unnecessary for employers to refer to the NEC to determine their obligations and unnecessary for OSHA to continue to incorporate the NEC by reference. Additionally, the final rule clarifies certain provisions which were misunderstood by certain interested parties.
在本最终标准中，职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）制定了“电气系统设计安全标准”。本标准修订了29 CFR Part 1910的S子部分，旨在简化和更新先前的标准。OSHA已确定，工作场所的电气危险对员工构成重大伤亡风险，并且这些大量借鉴《国家电气规范》经验的规定对于提供针对这些危险的防护而言是合理必要的。最终规则将《国家电气规范》（NEC）的相关要求纳入法规文本，使得雇主无需参考NEC来确定其义务，OSHA也无需继续通过引用纳入NEC。此外，最终规则澄清了某些利益相关方曾误解的某些条款。
