According to OSHA, bare conductors should not be used for which type of circuits?

Bare conductors are typically not used for temporary circuits due to safety concerns. Temporary circuits are often set up for short-term use, and using bare conductors increases the risk of accidental contact, which can lead to electrical shocks or short circuits. Temporary installations may not have the same protective measures in place as permanent circuits, which increases the potential hazards associated with bare conductors. By requiring insulated conductors for temporary applications, OSHA aims to minimize the risks involved, ensuring that such circuits are as safe as possible, even in transient setups. This standard helps to protect workers and the public from electrical hazards during construction, maintenance, or repair activities.
