True or False: Employers are required to provide protective equipment in areas with potential electrical hazards.

The statement is true because employers have a legal obligation under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards to provide employees with necessary protective equipment when working in environments with potential electrical hazards. This is part of the employer's duty to maintain a safe workplace. The requirement ensures that proper safety measures are taken to protect workers from risks associated with electrical work, which can include electrical shock, burns, and other injuries. By supplying the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as insulated gloves, safety glasses, and flame-resistant clothing, employers help mitigate these hazards and comply with safety regulations designed to safeguard employees.
