There are no requirements from Article 110 that apply in addition to 120.6 when applying 120.6. True or False?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Depends on the task

Answer: (B)

The main concept here is that Article 110 sets baseline safety requirements that apply to all electrical work, while 120.6 adds extra safety measures for certain tasks. When you apply 120.6, you don’t discard Article 110—those general requirements still apply in addition to 120.6. So you must meet both: the specific safeguards of 120.6 and the general safety rules from Article 110 (such as guarding, safe working space, and proper signage). If there’s any overlap or conflict, the stricter requirement governs, but the bottom line is that Article 110 is not suspended by 120.6.
