Finally there is a book that is devoted exclusively to all NEC requirements that directly relate to fire and electrical shock hazards. Mike Holt has just released a new book called the 101 Essential NEC Rules (Based on the 2008 NEC). These 101 rules were chosen by Mike as the most relevant safety rules that every electrical professional needs to be aware of. This is a great reference tool for code compliance, electrical training, and is ideal for weekly safety meetings. This book distills all of the code rules down to the 101 that really address the issues of safe electrical installations and should be in the hands of every electrical professional.

The articles in this book are extracted from Mike Holt’s Illustrated Guide to Understanding the National Electrical Code, Volume 1.
