An old factory with no previous electrical safety programs or electrical safety management systems was acquired by a large multinational organization. In this session, you’ll learn how the recently transferred safety specialist went about implementing complex concepts from the NFPA 70E – Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, OSHA 1910 Subpart S (Electrical), NFPA 70 National Electrical Code (NEC), and NFPA 70B Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance. You’ll leave with information to kick-start an electrical safety program or benchmark your current programs – regardless of organization size.
