Qualified Person
A person who has demonstrated skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of electrical equipment, and has received safety training to recognize and avoid associated hazards.
Detailed Explanation
The NEC and NFPA 70E define a qualified person as someone trained to work on or near energized electrical equipment. Only qualified persons may work within the limited approach boundary of exposed energized conductors. Qualification requires both knowledge (understanding of construction, operation, and hazards) and skills (safety training appropriate to the equipment and voltage levels). Contractors must ensure their workers meet qualified person requirements for the work they perform.
