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.
