Protect workers and the public from electrical hazards with the 2007 National Electrical Safety Code.

Used throughout the United States and in over 100 countries, the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) complements NFPA 70: NEC with practical guidance on how to safeguard employees and the public throughout every aspect of electrical supply and communication lines design, installation, operation and maintenance.
