FAQs
What is the National Electrical Safety Code?
The National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) is the safety code for electric and communication utilities, offering guidelines to safeguard utility workers and the public. It includes rules for clearances above ground and between power and communications lines, strength and loading requirements, and burial depths in underground installations, to name a few.
How often is the NESC updated?
Every five years, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) revises the Code to stay up-to-date with changes in the electric utility and telecommunications industries, such as evolving technologies and safety practices.
What is OSHA?
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) sets and enforces standards for safe and healthful working conditions.
Who manages the NESC?
The NESC is developed and maintained by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), incorporating input from various stakeholders to reflect best practices and address evolving technologies.
What materials will I need for the training?
The National Electrical Safety Code and McGraw Hill’s National Electrical Safety Code books are indispensable resources for any utility. While not required for all classes, we encourage attendees of our NESC training to bring a copy of the NESC Codebook and the McGraw Hill’s NESC Handbook (please check individual classes for requirements).
What learning methods will be presented?
All IKE trainings offer curriculum focused on practical applications supported by examples, diagrams, and conversations, as well as ample time for Q&A and class discussion.
Are IKE’s training offerings affiliated with Marne and Associates?
In 2023, IKE acquired the assets of Marne and Associates Inc., a firm that specialized in NESC and OSHA training. Following David J. Marne’s retirement, IKE carried on the training programs with leadership from Grant Glaus, registered professional electrical engineer with 25 years of experience in Electric Utility Engineering, NESC, and OSHA training.
