Electrical Safety

How to determine which Electrical Safety Training is best for your team? Not everyone in your facility faces the same electrical risks. Some employees might only use extension cords, while others regularly open energized panels. All of them need to be trained appropriately for the work they do and the hazards they may encounter.

When customers see a different label on one MCC door, they often question whether it's an error. Beware it may not be a mistake but may indicate the presence of a component that increases the arc flash hazard.

Hiring a contractor doesn’t mean you’re off the hook for electrical safety; it means your responsibility just got bigger.

If you’re wondering what to look for in an electrical safety trainer, this article is for you.

480V systems are among the most dangerous when it comes to arc flash. It’s not just the voltage—it’s the perfect combination of high fault current and sustained clearing time that makes 480V the “sweet spot” for serious incidents. Learn what makes it so hazardous and how to protect your team.

Does “normal operation” mean you can skip PPE? Sometimes, but only when specific conditions are met. Learn how to identify when equipment is safe to operate and when it’s not, and when in doubt, ask an expert.

When you get a quote for an arc flash analysis, it’s tempting to look for alternatives. But shortcuts like table methods or extra PPE don’t guarantee safety or compliance.

Don't underestimate the risks of 120VAC and 208VAC. Learn how to assess shock and arc flash hazards separately to see when PPE is still required.
