National Electrical Safety Code (NESC)
The NESC was developed for safeguarding people during installation, operation, and maintenance of electrical supply and communications lines. It also covers equipment and associated work practices employed by:
- public or private electrical suppliers,
- communications,
- railways, and similar utilities in the exercise of their operations.
- NOTE: It is not necessary for TxDOT personnel to have extensive knowledge of NEC or NESC requirements. However, where applicable, utilities must comply with these requirements.
