NFPA 70E Workplace Safety Quiz

Great quiz glad I still know my 70e

Good quiz, helped me realize the differences of hazards and classifications.

As an apprentice electrician, I wish my journeyman boss used lockouts. He had a habit of turning the breakers back on without checking what others were doing. That would have saved me from turning my new expensive linesman pliers into wire strippers.

I've never worked with or studied any of this stuff, nor ever heard of NFPA.

I've only worked with low-voltage [i.e.: network cabling] stuff, with no power applied, and fiber optics. ["Never check fiber with remaining good eye."]

This just looked interesting when E14 emailed about it, so I thought "What the heck!"

I got 84% on a blind try.  I missed two questions about sign colors (#5 and #15) , and two questions about selection/use of what look like name brand products I've never heard of (#9 and #19).

All in all a fun quiz.

"And hey - hey - hey.  Let's all be safe out there!"

Worked as Nuclear Electrical Tech and later became a nuclear instructor at a nuclear generation station.  Gave several Arc Flash courses over the years and enjoyed giving that type of training.  Really opened peoples eyes when they could see one of my arc flash videos in training.  The arc flash study took years before it became mandatory ..   But what a lot of people think .. Arc Flash is only at work ..  I have worked on voltages up to 16.8KV and mostly 480v ... However, if one was to really look into the study and issues in outside of the industrial sector .. a lot of arc flash occurs at home.  Having incoming voltage line of 220vac splitting to 110/120vac in the electrical panel.. A lot of home owners as well as residential electricians have cause numerous arc flashes over the years. Unfortunately those didn't have safety protection like you would at the work place. So how did I do on the test...  I will admit I could have done better at first .. Not being up on the latest on some tags and LOTO devices ..is what tripped me.  After a little research I found my answers and max the test.  For those that have not had NFPA 70E for years or those just starting out.  There is a lot of information out there about Arc Flash and knowing your distances and PPE for protection.  Great Quiz and really enjoyed it ...   Good to see others providing feedback on the quiz ..   Good Luck Everyone!

I should have looked for the guide before submitting!  I got tripped up on the colour question; my understanding is that the actual guidance on colours for signs is a bit fuzzy.

Safety first!

I don't think this applies here in the UK, but interesting none the less. (We do have lockouts, etc. just not NFPA 70E.)

Never had to worry about this, excepting never removing anything from an aircraft that has, or can have power applied . . .   

Excellent quiz. I learnt a lot.
