Identify which of the following statement(s) is/are true as they relate to unqualified persons.

• A. I, II
• B. I, III
• C. I, III, IV
• D. I, II, III, IV

Answer: (C)

Unqualified persons around electrical equipment must be limited to basic tasks and always operate under defined safety controls. They should not perform electrical work beyond their training, and any activity that could involve exposed energized parts or complex electrical procedures requires a qualified person, proper training, and appropriate procedures such as lockout/tagout. Direct supervision is a key safeguard when unqualified individuals are allowed near electrical work, ensuring they stay within tasks they can safely handle and avoid actions that could create hazards.

The correct set of statements is the one that captures these limits and safeguards—that unqualified personnel need supervision and should not engage in work on live or potentially energized parts, and that certain precautions (like using appropriate PPE and following established procedures) apply when they are involved in tasks within their scope. In other words, the true statements reflect the restricted role of unqualified workers and the safeguards designed to protect them and others.

The other statements would typically be incorrect because they would imply unqualified personnel can perform more advanced electrical work, operate energized parts, or bypass required safety controls.
