Name two common types of electrical hazards in the workplace.

• A. Arc flash hazards and electrical fires
• B. Electrical burns from overheated equipment
• C. Electric shock from exposed conductors and arc flash/arc blast hazards
• D. Ground fault equipment misalignment

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is recognizing the two broad, high‑risk electrical hazards workers face: electric shock and arc flash/arc blast hazards. Electric shock from exposed conductors occurs when a person contacts live parts, potentially delivering a dangerous or fatal current. Arc flash/arc blast hazards arise from an arcing fault that releases intense heat, light, pressure, and sound, causing severe burns, vision damage, and flying debris. Together, these two categories cover the most immediate and dangerous risks in electrical work, guiding precautions like de-energizing equipment, guarding access, using appropriate PPE, and following proper work procedures. Other options describe related problems (fires, burns, or misalignment) but don’t capture the two core, наиболее common hazard types as clearly.
