1.

Why should wet conditions be avoided to ensure electrical safety?

a)

Wet conditions increase the voltage in an electrical circuit, leading to short circuits.

b)

Water acts as an insulator, preventing electricity from flowing properly.

c)

Wet conditions reduce the resistance of the human body, increasing the risk of electric shock.

d)

Water creates a direct path to the ground, causing appliances to overheat.

2.

Which of the following scenarios demonstrates a violation of safety-related work practices for electrical safety?

a)

A technician uses insulated tools and tests for zero voltage before working on a de-energized circuit.

b)

An electrician performs maintenance on live equipment while wearing arc-rated PPE and following minimum approach distances.

c)

A worker inspects damaged wiring in a damp environment, assuming the circuit is off because no equipment is running.

d)

A supervisor installs Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) to reduce the risk of electrical shock in a high-risk area.

Which of the following is considered a low voltage?

a)

60 V

b)

110 V
