    Safety Quiz: What's Your Electrical Safety IQ?

    Dec. 2, 2024
    It's time to test your knowledge on electrical safety concepts.

    Safety is an important consideration for any workplace and for NETA Certified Technicians. ANSI/NETA MTS-2023 recognizes that an overwhelming majority of the tests and inspections carried out by NETA Certified Technicians are potentially hazardous. It is essential that workers are aware of the hazards involved with the tasks they perform.
