NEC 2008 arc flash press release

This recent press release touches on some issues in the NEC for 2008:

"The current NEC, which was last updated in 2005, already contains some information on how to properly label electrical hazards. With the upcoming release of the revised NEC scheduled for January of 2008 ... it is [expected] that this latest release of the NEC will further emphasize the need for proper electrical hazard labeling.
