Which NFPA 70E chapter addresses Safety-Related Work Practices?

• A. Chapter 2
• B. Chapter 3
• C. Chapter 4
• D. Annex B

Answer: (A)

Safety-Related Work Practices are the rules that govern how workers perform tasks on or near electrical equipment in a way that prevents injury. NFPA 70E organizes content so that the actual work practices—the procedures you follow, the PPE you use, the tools you select, and the verification steps and planning processes—are contained in the chapter dedicated to Safety-Related Work Practices. This chapter is the primary source for those requirements, including steps to establish an electrically safe work condition and to apply the appropriate protective equipment. Because these practical hazard-control procedures are the focus of safe operation, this chapter is the correct place for Safety-Related Work Practices. Other sections, such as annex material, provide supplementary information rather than the mandatory work-practice rules.
