Because your crew is composed of trained electricians, you only need to evaluate a new job site for electrical hazards, since non-electrical conditions like trenches or confined spaces do not typically affect your required equipment, timelines, or training needs.

As an electrical contracting business owner, you must screen non-electrical field hazards before assigning work to ensure your crew is properly prepared. Match each job-site scenario with the appropriate operational adjustment you must make regarding controls, time, equipment, or training.

As an electrical contracting business owner, arrange the following workflow steps in the correct logical sequence to demonstrate how non-electrical field hazards should be integrated into your pre-work job planning process.

As an auditor reviewing a stalled project, you discover that the crew arrived with proper electrical tools but could not proceed because they lacked the specialized safety gear for a deep trench on site. Evaluating this operational failure, you conclude the business owner neglected to perform a non-electrical field hazard ________, which is the essential pre-work step needed to accurately forecast the required safety controls, equipment, and time.
