Electrical Safety
Verifying the Absence of Voltage
Prior to performing de-energized work on electrical
equipment, NFPA 70E requires that workers verify
equipment is in an electrically safe state. Until proven
otherwise, equipment must be treated as energized and
necessary precautions must be observed.
One of the steps in the process of verifying that equipment
is in an electrically safe state involves a test for the absence
of voltage.
Comparison of Testing Methods
Before and after testing, the functionality of the tester must
be verified on a known source. When using a portable tester,
this is a time-consuming process and may involve exposure
to electrical hazards.
Using the VeriSafe
™
Absence of Voltage Tester reduces risk
and ensures the entire process is performed in the proper
sequence – every time, every test.
