Electrical Safety (August 2017)

Electrical safety ultimately hinges on a strict, well-rehearsed facility-level safety plan that addresses risk assessment, project preparation, safety auditing, training and qualification review, and understanding work involving electrical hazards.

We’ll talk briefly about each, while focusing in depth on Risk Assessment & Training. A major tool in assessing risks are electrical studies and their resulting mitigation strategies. When supported with appropriate staff training, these tools can reduce the hazards involved in working with electrical equipment and more importantly, improve worker safety and confidence.
