Ethan Sandoval · Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Employers required to provide GFCIs on construction sites to all the workers to prevent accidents due to the high voltage wires that could be in the construction site on wet grounds. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), all construction workers must have a GFCI fast-acting circuit breaker to sense imbalances in the circuits of the construction site.

gfcis are tools that monitor the current-to-the-load for leakage to ground.

The employer is required to provide approved GFCIs for all l20 volt, single-phase, 15 and 20 Amp receptacle outlets on construction sites that are not a part of the permanent wiring of the building or structure and that are in use by employees.
