2017 National Electrical Safety Code® (NESC®)

Produced exclusively by IEEE, the NESC specifies best practice standards for the safety of electric supply and communication utility systems at both public and private utilities. The NESC is revised every 5 years to keep the Code up-to-date with changes in the industry and technology.

 

NESC Brochure
The NESC sets the ground rules for practical safeguarding of persons during the installation, operation, and maintenance of power, telephone, cable TV, and railroad signal systems. It also includes work rules for the construction, maintenance, and operation of electric supply and communication lines and equipment. The NESC continues to be a definitive safety reference for utilities, their employees, contractors and manufacturers - as well as telephone companies, cable TV providers, railways and other organizations in the exercise of their functions as a utility.
