A NFPA 70E regulation provides guidelines for electrical safety in the workplace.

• A. Electrical safety
• B. Fire safety
• C. Mechanical safety
• D. Chemical safety

Answer: (A)

NFPA 70E focuses on electrical safety in the workplace. It provides guidelines for recognizing electrical hazards, performing safe work practices, and selecting appropriate PPE and protective controls to prevent shock, arc flash, burns, and other injuries when working with or near electrical equipment. The standard also covers training, hazard analysis, labeling, and procedures for de-energizing or controlling energy sources before maintenance. This emphasis on preventing electrical injuries places it squarely in electrical safety, rather than fire safety (which deals with fire prevention and protection more broadly), mechanical safety (which concerns guarding moving parts and equipment mechanics), or chemical safety (which deals with handling and exposure to hazardous chemicals).
