What is one requirement for electrical installations at construction sites to prevent fires?

One requirement for electrical installations at construction sites is that they must comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC). The NEC sets forth standards intended to ensure safe electrical design, installation, and inspection to protect people and property from electrical hazards. Compliance with these standards reduces the risk of electrical fires, which can be caused by faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, and other unsafe electrical practices. Adhering to the NEC ensures that installations are performed using appropriate materials and techniques, minimizing the chance of accidents or malfunctions that could lead to fire incidents on construction sites.

Other responses do not align with industry requirements, as monthly inspections may not always be feasible or necessary, informal work by any worker poses significant risks, and not all installations must be performed by a general contractor; skilled electricians can be qualified to handle electrical work, adhering to code requirements.
