[Docket Nos.

OSHA is issuing a new standard (1910.331- .335) on electrical safety-related workpractices for general industry. These regulations complement existing electrical installation standards and include requirements for work performed on or near exposed energized and deenergized parts of electric equipment; use of electrical protective equipment; and the safe use of electric equipment.

OSHA is correcting the final standard on electrical safety-related work practices published in the Federal Register on 8/6/90 (55 FR 31984) . The notice as published, contained some errors and inaccuracies, including authority citations for the document itself and for most of the subparts. A Table lists the errors and the corresponding corrections. CONTACT: James Foster, (202)523-8148.

Abstract:
This notice schedules an informal public hearing on the proposed
standard on electrical safety-related work practices, published
November 30, 1987 (52:45530); correction (53:2047). It also extends
the period for submission of written comments on the proposed rule.
The requirements in the proposed standard are to supplement the
existing electrical installation requirements contained in 29 CFR
1910, Subpart S.
