"Electrical Safety 101" - Speaker - Ken Cohen

Topic:  Over the years, since the creation of Cal/OSHA, citations issued on low voltage electrical safety issues remains in the Top Ten list of violations. Few safety professionals question the killing and maiming power of low voltage electricity, yet most relegate compliance to often less than qualified maintenance personnel or overly rushed electrical contractors with an "assumption" that they will leave the job in a safe condition and compliant with code. Take a 45 minute stroll through a number of workplace hazards to identify some of the most common electrical violations and begin to understand the lethality of Arc Flash explosions in low voltage operations. The program speaker, Ken Cohen, retired from the Cal/OSHA High Hazard Unit and taught NFPA 70E Electrical Safety for Compliance Officers.
