Applying Electrical Standards (US)

Many people equate standards and regulations with added work, possible civil and criminal implications, and expensive regulatory fines. But, can you imagine a world without regulations and standards? What would happen if there were no rules or guidelines about how to safely perform electrical work? Standards and regulations exist not to make work harder but to keep people safe. In this course, we are going to focus on the government regulations and industry standards that apply to electrical work.
