Improve electrical safety in the workplace with this essential overview
Electrical safety is vital for any workplace. Electrical hazards and workplace electrical injuries can be avoided through the rigorous implementation of safety standards and practices, such as those catalogued in Hidden Risk in Occupational Electrical Safety. Originating from the revolutionary breakthrough which began at DuPont global operations in the 1980s, and which has continued to see progress in risk reduction and the emergence of a zero-fatality electrical safety program, this book outlines concrete steps which can improve system safety in workplaces of any kind. With detailed discussions of statistical data and its role in helping organizations understand and manage risk of electrical accidents, it's a must-own for electrical safety professionals looking to capitalize on a revolution in workplace safety.
Readers will also find: - A unique combination of research into management commitment workplace behavior and engineering experience in the area of high-risk hazards
- Detailed discussion of “hidden” injuries such as neurological, psychological, and other lingering impacts of otherwise “invisible” electrical injury
- Concrete tools for minimizing worker exposure to electrical hazards and the most effective measures in ensuring worker safety
Hidden Risk in Occupational Electrical Safety is ideal for electrical safety professionals and other decision-makers who take on the responsibility for occupational electrical safety within their organizations.
