  1. What is the NEC requirement for the minimum wire gauge of a satellite dish grounding conductor?

    Answer: 10 AWG minimum for most residential installations

    NEC Article 810 requires a minimum 10 AWG copper grounding conductor for satellite dish installations in most residential scenarios.

  2. Which OSHA standard specifically applies to fall protection requirements for general industry workers, including satellite installers working at heights?

    Answer: OSHA 1910.23 and 1910.29

    OSHA 1910.23 (Ladders) and 1910.29 (Fall Protection Systems) govern fall protection for general industry workers at elevated heights.

  3. A technician is asked to install a satellite dish on a building with asbestos-containing roofing materials. The correct procedure is to:

    Answer: Halt work and consult with the building owner about asbestos abatement before drilling or disturbing any materials

    Disturbing asbestos-containing materials releases dangerous fibers requiring proper abatement by licensed contractors before any work that may disturb those materials.

  4. What is the purpose of equipotential bonding in a satellite installation?

    Answer: To connect all conductive components to the same electrical potential, preventing dangerous voltage differences

    Equipotential bonding connects all metallic components to the same ground reference, preventing voltage differences that could cause electric shock or equipment damage.

  5. When should a satellite dish installation site's Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) be completed?

    Answer: Before work begins to identify and mitigate hazards proactively

    A JHA must be completed before work begins to identify potential hazards and establish safe work procedures for each task.

  6. What is the correct first aid response if a co-worker receives a severe electrical shock and is unconscious but still in contact with the electrical source?

    Answer: De-energize the source or use a non-conductive object to separate the worker before touching them

    Touching a victim in contact with an active electrical source will cause the rescuer to also be electrocuted; the source must be de-energized first.

  7. Which document must be posted at a construction site where satellite dish installation is occurring as required by OSHA?

    Answer: OSHA Job Safety and Health: It's the Law poster (OSHA 3165)

    OSHA requires the Job Safety and Health poster to be prominently displayed at every worksite where employees are present, informing workers of their rights.
