Keeping up with the requirements of the Code should be the goal of
everyone involved in electrical safety. The following is what I feel is an
important rule in the 2020 NEC®, complete with
graphics and a video. I encourage you to use it as a training resource for
your organization, and share it with your colleagues.

Tamper-resistant (TR) receptacles have been preventing electrical shock and saving lives since they were introduced to the Code in 2008!
With each subsequent NEC revision cycle, more areas have been added to the list that require the installation of tamper-resistant (TR) receptacles. Are you familiar with all the locations where TR receptacles are to be installed and what you should do when replacing existing receptacles?
Taking a few moments to read the attached text then join Mike and the team as they discuss all the rules for TR receptacles.
