Electrical conductors and circuit parts shall not be considered to be in an electrically safe work condition until all of the requirements of Article ? have been met.

• A. 100
• B. 110
• C. 120
• D. 130

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that an electrically safe work condition is only reached by following the safety-related work practices that remove and verify the absence of energy. Article 120 of NFPA 70E specifies how to de-energize equipment, lock out and tag out to prevent re-energization, verify that all voltage is gone with proper tests, and manage stored energy before any work on conductors or circuit parts. When these steps are completed, the equipment can be considered electrically safe to work on. Other articles cover different topics and do not lay out these specific procedures for establishing an electrically safe condition.
