energy equals 1.2 cal/cm2 (5 J/cm2) - CORRECT ANSWER-Arc-Flash Boundary
An electrical hazard is defined as a dangerous condition such that contact or ? can
result in electric shock, arc flash burn, thermal burn, or ? . - CORRECT ANSWER-
equipment failure / arc blast injury
Incident energy is defined as the amount of thermal energy impressed on a surface, a
certain distance from the source, generated during an electrical arc event. Incident
energy is typically expressed in ? - CORRECT ANSWER-calories per centimeter
squared (cal/cm2)
A qualified person is defined as one who has demonstrated skills and knowledge
related to the construction and ? of electrical equipment and installations, and has
received safety training to ? the hazards and reduce the associated risk. - CORRECT
ANSWER-operation / identify
, An unqualified person is defined as a person who is not a qualified person - CORRECT
ANSWER-True
The requirements that address host and contract employer's responsibilities require a
number of things. Which of the following are among those requirements? - CORRECT
ANSWER-1. The contract employer must ensure that each employee follows the work
practices required by NFPA 70E in addition to any safety-related work rules of the host
employer.
IV. The host employer must inform the contract employer with the information about the
employer's installation that the contract employer needs to make the assessments
required by Chapter 1 of NFPA 70E
V. There must be a documented meeting between the host employer and the contract
employer where the host employer has knowledge of hazards covered by NFPA 70E
that are related to the contract employer's work.
The electrical safety training requirements in 110.2(A) state that employees are required
to be trained in a number of topics. Which of the following are among those employee
training topics? - CORRECT ANSWER-I. In safety-related work practices and
procedural requirements, as necessary, to provide protection from the electrical hazards
associated with their respective job or task assignments
III. To identify and understand the relationship between electrical hazards and possible
injury
IV. To understand the specific hazards associated with electrical energy
Determine which of the following are required to meet the NFPA 70E requirements
related to emergency response training. - CORRECT ANSWER-II. Employees exposed
to shock hazards and those responsible for the safe release of victims from contact with
exposed energized electrical conductors or circuit parts shall be trained in methods of
safe release.
III. Employees responsible for responding to medical emergencies shall be trained in
first aid and emergency procedures.
IV. Employers shall verify at least annually that employee emergency response training
is current.
V. The employer shall document that emergency response training has occurred.

110.2(A). This documentation of training must satisfy which of the following criteria? -
CORRECT ANSWER-I. It must be made when the employee demonstrates proficiency
in the work practices involved.
II. It must be maintained for the duration of the employee's employment.
