OSHA Health Science Practice Test

In situations where workers may be exposed to electrical hazards, it is crucial to identify and clearly mark live parts, as these are components that carry electrical current and pose an immediate risk of shock or electrocution. Proper tagging of live parts serves as a visible warning to alert workers to the potential danger and to ensure they take appropriate safety measures, such as de-energizing the equipment or utilizing personal protective equipment.

This practice reinforces safety protocols and compliance with regulations aimed at minimizing the risk of electrical accidents in the workplace. Identifying live parts with tags ensures that all workers are aware of the hazards present, enabling them to work more safely and effectively.
