Read the first 7 Safety Protocols & Hazard Prevention flashcards as text

  1. Which NEC article covers the installation of safety signs and markings for electrical hazards on equipment?

    Answer: Article 110

    NEC Article 110 contains general requirements including safety signs, markings, and arc flash hazard warnings on equipment.

  2. When using test equipment near energized conductors, the CAT rating indicates what?

    Answer: The transient overvoltage the meter can safely withstand in that installation category

    CAT (Category) ratings define the level of transient voltage surge the meter can survive without failure in specific installation environments.

  3. What is the primary purpose of an Assured Equipment Grounding Conductor Program (AEGCP) on a construction site?

    Answer: Provide an alternative to GFCI by using a systematic inspection and testing program

    An AEGCP is an OSHA-accepted alternative to GFCI protection that uses systematic inspection and testing of equipment grounding conductors.

  4. When two qualified electricians perform group lockout/tagout, what must each individual do?

    Answer: Apply their own personal lock to a hasp on each energy isolation point

    Group LOTO requires each individual to apply their own personal lock to the hasp so no single person can inadvertently restore energy.

  5. Static electricity is a particular hazard when handling which type of material in electrical work?

    Answer: Flammable liquids and solvent-based adhesives

    Static discharge can ignite flammable vapors from liquids and solvent-based adhesives, causing fires or explosions.

  6. Which OSHA standard specifically governs electrical safety requirements for general industry (not construction)?

    Answer: 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S

    29 CFR 1910 Subpart S covers electrical safety standards for general industry workplaces.

  7. A master electrician notices a worker using a ground prong adapter ('cheater plug') on a power tool. What is the primary danger?

    Answer: Eliminating the equipment grounding path, removing fault current protection

    A cheater plug removes the equipment grounding conductor, eliminating the fault current path and leaving the tool casing potentially energized.
