Exposure to electrical hazards from work on, near, or with conductors or equipment in electric-utilization installations is covered by which subpart?

• A. Subpart T
• B. Subpart P
• C. Subpart S
• D. Subpart R

Answer: (C)

Subpart S of the OSHA electrical safety standards covers exposure to electrical hazards from work on, near, or with conductors or equipment in electric-utilization installations. This part sets the requirements for safe work practices, protective equipment, de-energizing and lockout/tagout procedures, guarding of live parts, and appropriate PPE to prevent shock, electrocution, and arc-flash risks. It is dedicated specifically to electrical safety in utilization installations, whereas other subparts address different safety topics.
