e-Hazard's Mission: To help keep those in the electrical industry safe
How does our company do that? Multiple ways, such as keeping up-to-date on electrical safety standards and regulations and communicating with others in the electrical industry.
IEEE’s annual Electrical Safety Workshop (ESW) is one of the best avenues for meeting those goals. Since its inception in 1992, the ESW has established itself as the industry’s premier electrical safety conference. Go to ESW’s website to find out more about this annual event, usually held in the spring.
Other Resources at Your Fingertips
e-Hazard’s electrical safety consultants want to make sure the best information we can find is promoted. The following resources are just a few different examples that provide access to good information on electrical safety.
Plugged Into Safety Podcast
e-Hazard’s podcast Plugged Into Safety is available on multiple platforms, including Apple, Spotify , and Podbean. Hosts Brian McCauley and Derek Vigstol discuss electrical safety issues with other experts in the industry.
e-Hazard Learning Center
We’d like to point out our Learning Center on our website, where you can link to helpful articles on many different topics pertaining to electrical safety. You will find articles on the Publication List page and also on a page that has White Papers.
One article listed on e-Hazard’s Learning Center is Reliability Centered Maintenance, or RCM.
Other topics include arc flash hazards, PPE, and mentoring.
Good articles to read include the following (not posted on our website but are available for sale online):
“Managing Reliability for Electrical Safety”, Floyd, H.L., 2011 Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals Annual Conference, October 17-20, 2011, Greensboro, NC
“Maintenance Strategies for a New Era in Electrical Safety”, Fayard, R.S., Floyd, H.L., Staat, D., Sullivan P.S., & Thornton, E., 2010 IEEE IAS Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Technical Conference, San Antonio, TX, September 20 – 23, 2010
Another area of our Learning Center contains a collection of arc flash videos. Look for the Arc Flash Safety Minute Video Series, where you can watch helpful videos on PPE and electrical safety.
EC&M TV
The electrical industry is widely represented on YouTube. One channel we’d like to highlight is the Electrical Construction & Maintenance channel, EC&M TV. A few series on the EC&M TV channel include Tech Talks, EC&M Asks, and Moving Violations.
We like to call attention to this 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whenever we can. The Electrical Safety Foundation International covers many areas of electrical safety and even provides elementary education resources for teachers. Their Workplace Safety section is worth checking out.
If you've decided you need training...
Of course, providing the best electrical safety training to new and returning clients remains one of our biggest priorities. Our most popular classes include Low Voltage (up to 600 V), High Voltage (601 and higher), Arc Flash Safety for Utilities 1910.269, and National Electrical Code for Industrial Installations.
A recent addition to our suite of classes is Electrical Equipment Maintenance Practices, based on NFPA 70B*. It is being offered as a live, online class in November.
See our Training Schedule for those classes and others we offer!
