I think that might be an item in OSHA. I was told last summer by an electrician to step away during a start-up that I need full non-conductive apparel in addition to ear-eye-head protection. He said it was in NFPA (I looked in 70 and 20) but I think it might have come up in a training class. Tom
I have never heard this even suggested at the NFPA 25 meetings. Since the text in 25 does not even suggest it, I would put it down as an over-zealous editor in the Handbook. I will pursue clarification of this with NFPA for the next edition of the Handbook (which we just finished working on).
