AVO Training Institute - Electrical Safety for Utilities
2013-06-27 18:08:00| Transmission & Distribution World
Linemen, substation technicians, and other utility maintenance personnel are exposed to some of the highest voltages and electrical hazard levels in the United States. Lean operations and informal on-the-job training can lead to gaps in technicians electrical safety knowledge. To ensure adequate safe work practices, personnel must understand safety regulations, electrical hazards and the use of safe work procedures and protective equipment. Research is ongoing to improve these practices, so utilities may have difficulty keeping up with revisions in OSHA, the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), ASTM and other applicable electrical safety regulations. The ability to interpret these standards and apply the requirements is essential to preventing electrical accidents, outages and equipment destruction.
