NFPA 70E UPDATED EXAM SCRIPT QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Risk assessment - ✔✔An overall process that identifies hazards, estimates the
potential severity of injury or damage to health, estimates the likelihood of occurrence of
injury or damage to health, and determines if protective measures are required.
✔✔Working on (energized electrical conductors or circuit parts). - ✔✔Intentionally
coming in contact with energized electrical conductors or circuit parts with hands, feet,
or other body parts, with tools, probes, or with test equipment, regardless of the PPE a
person is wearing. There are two categories of "working on": Diagnostic (testing) is
taking readings or measurements of electrical equipment with approved test equipment
that does not require making any physical change to the equipment; repair is any
physical alteration of electrical equipment (such as making or tightening connections,
removing or replacing components, etc.).
✔✔Exposed (as applied to energized electrical conductors or circuit parts) - ✔✔Capable
of being inadvertently touched or approached nearer than a safe distance by a person.
It is applied to electrical conductors or circuit parts that are not suitably guarded ,
isolated, or insulated.
✔✔Guarded - ✔✔Covered, shielded, fenced, enclosed, or otherwise protected by
means of suitable covers, casings, barriers, rails, screens, mats, or platforms to remove
the likelihood of approach or contact by persons or objects to a point of danger.
✔✔Isolated (as applied to location) - ✔✔not readily accessible to person unless special
means for access are used
✔✔Insulated - ✔✔Separated from other conducting surfaces by a dielectric (including
air space) offering a high resistance to thee passage of current
✔✔Ground fault - ✔✔An unintentional, electrically conducting connection between an
underground conductor of an electrical circuit and the normally non-current-carrying
conductors, metallic enclosures, metallic raceways, metallic equipment, or earth.
✔✔Article 100 - ✔✔Chapter 1, Definitions
✔✔Article 110 - ✔✔Chapter 1, General Requirements for Electrical Safety-Related
Work Practices
✔✔Article 120 - ✔✔Chapter 1, Establishing An Electrically Safe Work Condition
✔✔Section 120.1 - ✔✔Verification of an Electrically Safe Work Condition (in 6 steps)
