NFPA 70E® Article ___ covers the requirements for working on or near energized electrical circuits, systems, or parts.

• A. 100
• B. 110
• C. 130
• D. 120

Answer: (C)

The main idea is safety practices for anytime work involves live electrical parts. NFPA 70E’s article on safety requirements for electrical work practices specifically directs what to do when you must work on or near energized circuits, systems, or parts. It requires planning and controls to reduce exposure to shock and arc flash, including de-energizing whenever possible, and if energized work is unavoidable, using an energized work permit, performing an arc flash hazard analysis, and selecting appropriate protective measures based on the incident energy. That includes proper PPE, flame-resistant clothing, eye and face protection, and other engineering and administrative controls, along with training and a controlled work environment. The other sections cover definitions or general safety and installation topics, not the specific procedures for performing work on or near live parts.
