Which of these is recommended when a roofing contractor implements an assured grounding program?

  1. Randomly checking grounding wires for continuity.

  2. Only providing grounding for power tools.

  3. Ensuring all electrical equipment is water-resistant.

  4. All grounding wires should be checked with a continuity tester.

The correct answer is: All grounding wires should be checked with a continuity tester.

When a roofing contractor implements an assured grounding program, it is essential to ensure that all grounding wires are checked with a continuity tester. This practice helps verify that the grounding system is intact and effectively grounding any potential electrical charges that may build up in the system. Randomly checking grounding wires for continuity (Option A) may lead to overlooking faulty connections or damaged wires. Providing grounding only for power tools (Option B) is not comprehensive enough for a comprehensive grounding program. Ensuring all electrical equipment is water-resistant (Option C) is important for safety but does not specifically address the implementation of an assured grounding program as effectively as checking all grounding wires with a continuity tester (Option D).
