Welcome
to the National Electrical Safety Code® Zone—a
one-stop resource for National Electrical Safety
Code information.
Published
exclusively by the IEEE, the National Electrical
Safety Code (NESC®) sets the ground rules
for practical safeguarding of persons during the
installation, operation, or maintenance of electric
supply and communication lines and associated
equipment. The NESC contains the basic provisions
that are considered necessary for the safety of
employees and the public under the specified conditions.
We hope this zone answers many of your questions
about the NESC— including
its development and implementation.
