Question

multiple choice
the most common consensus standard followed by companies in order to protect workers from the hazards of electricity is...
a) nfpa 70e
b) nema 70e
c) nfpa 70
d) neca 70a

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A (NFPA 70E): NFPA 70E is the National Fire Protection Association's standard for electrical safety in the workplace, focusing on protecting workers from electrical hazards.
• Option B (NEMA 70E): NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) does not have a 70E standard for worker electrical safety; NEMA standards are more about equipment.
• Option C (NFPA 70): NFPA 70 is the National Electrical Code (NEC), which focuses on electrical installation requirements, not worker safety.
• Option D (NECA 70A): NECA (National Electrical Contractors Association) standards are for contractors' practices, not worker electrical hazard protection.

So, NFPA 70E is the standard for protecting workers from electrical hazards.

Answer:

A) NFPA 70E
