We are excited to announce the second video in our Electrical Safety Hour Series: Arc Flash Awareness for Utilities. This video will focus on regulations and standards, electrical hazards and protection strategies, and the importance of wearing the right PPE for the job.
Each of these practices is in accordance with NESC and OSHA 1910.269 standards. The first video of this series, the newest version of 7 Electrical Safety Habits, was introduced last month.
Want to add this to your safety program?
You have the option of renting the video for a 24-hour period or purchasing it for repeated viewing. Licensing is also available for server or LMS. Please call (502) 716-7073.
