Everyone knows about electrical shock but we’re still experiencing death and serious injuries each year from shock hazards. One of the best way to prevent shock is to utilize finger safe products and non conductor covers or barriers. If all the electrical components are finger safe or covered, workers has a much lower chance of coming in contact with a live conductor. If you’re not an electrician, you’re maybe thinking that this training program is a waste of time because you don’t work on electrical equipment.You may not work on or install electrical components but the information is extremely valuable regardless what job you may have or how little you maybe expose to electrical hazards. Certainly electricians and maintenance person working on or around electricity are on increased risk but everyone should be trained in basic arc flash safety procedures.
