Exactly one answer is correct.

Show solution

Correct answer to question 15015

  • B: De-energizing would create a greater hazard, such as shutting down life support

Explanation

NFPA 70E permits energized work when de-energizing introduces additional hazards or increased risk, or when it is infeasible due to equipment design. Inconvenience or cost alone is not a valid justification.
