Within the limited approach boundary, unqualified personnel must be escorted at all times by someone trained in electrical hazards avoidance.

• A. They can proceed with only standard PPE
• B. They must be escorted by a supervisor at all times
• C. They can be in the area when directly observed by another person
• D. They must be escorted at all times by someone trained in electrical hazards avoidance

Answer: (D)

Inside the limited approach boundary, unqualified personnel are in proximity to live parts and face significant electrical hazards. Because they lack the training to recognize and respond to arc flash, shock, and other dangers, they must be accompanied by someone who is trained in electrical hazards avoidance. This trained escort can identify hazards, enforce safe distances, ensure the correct PPE and procedures are used, and intervene if conditions change. That’s why the requirement is that they must be escorted at all times by someone with that specific training. The other options don’t provide the necessary hazard recognition and boundary enforcement: standard PPE alone isn’t enough, a supervisor isn’t specifically required, and mere direct observation by someone else doesn’t guarantee proper hazard avoidance.
