Certified Utility Safety Professional (CUSP) Practice Exam

The MAD is intended to provide which of the following?

A sufficient gap between worker and line plus extra for inadvertent movement A protective barrier A weather shelter A shield for the eyes

Correct Answer:

A sufficient gap between worker and line plus extra for inadvertent movement

Explanation:

The MAD focuses on safe clearance from live electrical parts. It defines a sufficient gap between the worker and the energized line, plus an extra margin to cover inadvertent movement. This ensures that even if the worker shifts slightly or tools shift, the distance remains large enough to prevent contact or arcing. It’s not about a protective barrier, a weather shelter, or eye shielding—those are separate safety measures and do not establish the necessary working distance from energized equipment.
