Which of the following is not a requirement when performing electrical work?

Regular inspections are critical in ensuring the safety and compliance of electrical installations, but they are not directly considered a requirement for every individual performing electrical work. While it’s essential for electrical systems to be inspected routinely to check for safety, compliance with codes, and functionality, the act of performing electrical work itself does not inherently require an individual to conduct inspections during the actual execution of their tasks.

On the other hand, proper tools and proper training are fundamental to executing electrical work safely and effectively. Proper tools ensure that jobs are performed correctly and decrease the likelihood of accidents or electrical failures, while proper training equips individuals with the knowledge to handle electrical systems safely and according to regulations. Therefore, while inspections are important, they are ancillary to the act of performing electrical work and not a prerequisite for the task itself.
