Introduction to NFPA 70E (2021), Part 1: The Electrically Safe

What is the first thing to do when performing a risk assessment according to the text?

• Wear personal protective equipment

• Eliminate the hazard

• Create an electrically safe work condition

• Conduct a training session

What is the hierarchy of risk controls mentioned in the text?

• Administrative controls, PPE, hazard elimination

• Hazard elimination, PPE, administrative controls

• Hazard elimination, administrative controls, PPE

• PPE, administrative controls, hazard elimination

What is the purpose of creating an electrically safe work condition?

• To reduce energy consumption

• To ensure safety before performing work

• To increase productivity

• To eliminate the need for PPE

What is the importance of eliminating the hazard?

• It increases electrical consumption

• It is the most effective way to avoid incidents

• It reduces the need for training

• It enhances productivity

What is the role of administrative controls in risk management?

• They are the first line of defense

• They are used when hazard elimination is not possible

• They are the only method to ensure safety

• They are used to increase productivity

What should be done if equipment is not allowed to be worked on energized?

• Work on it anyway

• Shut everything down

• Increase the voltage

• Ignore the guidelines

What is a situation where energized work might be allowed?

• If it saves time

• If it introduces new hazards

• If it is infeasible to de-energize

• If it is more convenient

What should be done if there is no increased exposure to electrical burns or arcs?

• Work energized

• Increase voltage

• De-energize equipment

• Ignore safety protocols

What should be done if equipment shows visible damage?

• Continue using the equipment

• Ignore the damage

• Do not perform normal operation

• Use the equipment more frequently

What is the role of the control circuit in the procedure?

• To increase power

• To reduce risk

• To verify the hazard

• To interrupt the load
