An energized electrical work permit must be completed as required by which section?

• A. 130.2
• B. 130.4
• C. 110.9
• D. 130.7

Answer: (A)

Working on or near energized electrical equipment requires a formal plan that ensures all hazards are identified and controlled before any work starts. This is handled through an energized electrical work permit, which documents the scope, the hazards, the protective measures, and the authorization to perform the task. The section that specifically requires and governs this permit is the one that addresses energized electrical work permits and the overall framework for electrical safety in the work environment. It sets expectations for what must be included in the permit, such as the energy sources involved, the equipment, the barriers and PPE to be used, and who has sign-off authority. The other sections cover related topics (general safe work practices, clearance and tagging requirements, or PPE specifics) but do not establish the energized work permit requirement itself. So the reference that mandates the energized electrical work permit is the section dedicated to energized work permits.
