special hazards OF work about elcctri
cal equipment In stations, at switch
boards, about overhead lines, In arc
lamp attendance. on underground lines
meter setting, testing, and in tunnel
or mine work. Each class OF worker
10 directed to familiarizs himself also
with the preceding general rules
which apply to all classes OF electri'
cal employment. BY this arrangement,
more adequate and convenient treat
ment has been realized without unnec.
essary repetition.
In carefully prepared appendix
the value of organized accident pre-
vention work through safety commit
tees, Is emphasized as means for re-
enforcing the effectiveness Of safety
rules. The report on this subject by
the accident prevention committee OF
the national electrical light associa-
ton is briefly distracted, and citations
are made from the reported organiza-
tons and methods Of several large
and small electrical utilities.
The comment Of those commissions,
companies, and workmen whose study
Of the subject has been closest, has
been very favorable to the arrange
ment and substance of the rules given
in this edition, and many have ex-
pressed a desire to adopt them or to
utilize them in preparing similar codes.
The requirements of different states
and communities should be closely
harmonized to secure the best results
in reducing the accident toll Of electri.
cal service. and the results presented
In this code should be advantageous
in securing uniformity among the state
codes of safety rules.
Great advantage will result to com.
panies and workmen alike by the gen.
eral adoption by the several states OF
q single standard set Of safety rules,
which can be revised in accordance
with the progress of the art and the
combined experience Of all the COM
panies and commissions Of the country.
Thus will every state and every COM
pany secure the advantage of the ex-
perience Of all. ...'.,. ..
Where particular rules do not up
ply their omission will of course cause
no conflict in practice. II It is nee
essary for any state commission to
adopt additional rules, that could be
done at any time by special orders.
This would be easier and less con-
fusing than to have a different set
of rules for each separate state.
Acknowledgment is made Of the CO
operation by national associations,
state commissions, company officials
and individuals. The conclusions
reached by the bureau OF standards
from the combined experience OF many
of the most experienced companies
and individual engineers. and
thorough study of large amount of
literature and statistics are now Of
fered with the hope that they will
constitute a substantial contribution
to the widely evidenced public need
for q standard set of safety rules. 1t
is believed that a material reduction
In present life hazards to electrical
workers may be realized by the gen.
eral adoption and use of these rules.
