Topic Temporary Power and Electrical Safety Workplace Inspections
The ability to identify electrical safety violations is an instrumental step to establishing and maintaining a safe work environment and preventing electrical safety incidents, injuries, and fatalities. This presentation provides guidance on temporary power use at home and in the workplace, including a review of industry trends, requirements, and best practices. Focused guidance is provided for use of portable tools, extension cords, and temporary wiring. Additionally, tools will be provided to assist with doing workplace self-assessments to identify and correct electrical safety deficiencies.
