True or False: The NEC provides requirements for safe electrical installations, while NFPA 70E provides guidance for establishing safe electrical workplaces.

The statement is accurate because the National Electrical Code (NEC) indeed focuses on the minimum requirements for safe electrical installations. It sets forth standards to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical systems in both residential and commercial buildings. Conversely, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70E provides guidelines specifically related to electrical safety in the workplace, emphasizing safe work practices, personal protective equipment, and safe electrical maintenance procedures. The synergy between the NEC’s installation requirements and NFPA 70E’s workplace safety practices is essential for fostering overall safety in electrical environments. Thus, both codes serve distinct but complementary roles in promoting electrical safety.
