Question

A journeyman electrician with 16 years experience on-the-job was removing metal fish

prevent this accident? Select all that apply.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Ensure all circuits are de-energized before beginning work (29 CFR 1926.416(a)(3)).

2. Controls to be deactivated during the course of work on energized or de-energized

equipment or circuits must be tagged (29 CFR 1926.417(a)).

3. Employees must be instructed to recognize and avoid unsafe conditions associated with

their work (29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2)).
