Question

question 2 of 2 what is the purpose of guarding electrical equipment with exposed parts operating at 50 volts or more? to fulfill lockout/tagout requirements so that only authorized workers can access the equipment to allow easy access to the equipment so that the general public is kept away from construction equipment

Explanation:

• "To fulfill lockout/tagout requirements" is incorrect as lockout/tagout is about isolating energy, not guarding.
• "To allow easy access to the equipment" is wrong because guarding is for safety, not easy access.
• "So that the general public is kept away from construction equipment" is incorrect as the focus is on electrical equipment (not just construction) and authorized workers, not just the general public.
• "So that only authorized workers can access the equipment" is correct. Guarding electrical equipment with exposed parts at 50 volts or more is to restrict access to those trained/authorized to handle it, preventing electrical hazards.

Answer:

B. So that only authorized workers can access the equipment (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with A: To fulfill lockout/tagout requirements, B: So that only authorized workers can access the equipment, C: To allow easy access to the equipment, D: So that the general public is kept away from construction equipment)
