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.

Openings around electrical penetrations into or through fire-resistant-rated walls, partitions, floors, or ceilings must be fire-stopped using approved methods to prevent the spread of fire.
As an electrician, you are expected to maintain the fire rating of these assemblies when completing electrical installations in accordance with 300.21.
