Stay Within Sight

摘要

THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE includes more than 60 requirements to install a disconnecting means within sight from equipment. These requirements are safety-driven and ensure that workers and other personnel can open the circuit supplying equipment. This general requirement for providing a means to disconnect to power allows workers to remove hazards-such as electric shock and arc-flash events-if work was done while circuits were energized. Always shut the power off before working on equipment.
