True or False: GFCIs must be provided for 120-volt receptacle outlets on construction sites.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only for wet areas

  4. Only for temporary installations

The correct answer is: True

The statement is true because Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are essential safety devices that protect against electric shock. According to OSHA regulations, GFCIs must be provided for all 120-volt receptacle outlets on construction sites, regardless of whether the outlet is in a wet area or a temporary installation. This requirement is in place to ensure that workers are protected from potential electrical hazards, which can be particularly dangerous in a construction environment where water, conductive materials, and varying conditions can increase the risk of electrical shock. By using GFCIs, any unintended path of current in the body can trigger the GFCI to shut off the power, thereby significantly reducing the risk of serious injury or fatality from electric shock.
