According to NFPA 70E Section 110.1, what must the employer implement and document?

• A. Electrical safety program
• B. Emergency action plan
• C. Hazard communication program
• D. Lockout program

Answer: (A)

NFPA 70E Section 110.1 requires that the employer implement and document an electrical safety program. This program creates a clear, structured approach to identifying electrical hazards, defining safe work practices, and ensuring workers are properly trained and equipped to perform tasks around electrical equipment. Documenting the program formalizes who is responsible, what procedures must be followed, what training is required, how equipment is maintained, and how the program is reviewed and updated. The goal is to formalize how electrical risks are controlled and how compliance is verified across the organization. Other safety plans, like emergency action plans, hazard communication, or lockout/tagout, serve important roles too, but the electrical safety program is the specific framework mandated to address electrical hazards and ensure consistent, verifiable practices.
