Live Dead Live zero energy verification is but one step in establishing an Electricaly Safe Working Condition. It starts with training, planning, coordination and at times collaboration before we even get to gathering of tools and PPE

This simple, quick electrical check takes less than 30 seconds and will keep you safe.

Electrical safety isn't just a priority; it's a responsibility that demands comprehensive training and understanding. At RESA Power, we recognize the gravity of arc flash incidents and the imperative need for robust safety protocols. That's why our Arc Flash/SAFETY/NFPA 70E Awareness Training goes beyond the basics to empower technicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate potential hazards safely. ✅ Understanding Hazards: Our training delves deep into electrical hazards like shock and arc flash protection. Technicians gain the expertise to spot dangers and implement effective safety measures. ✅ Mastering PPE Requirements: Our courses guide technicians on selecting, using, and maintaining PPE to ensure adequate protection in their work environments. ✅ Navigating Compliance: Compliance with OSHA and NFPA 70E standards is non-negotiable for electrical safety. Our training empowers technicians with a thorough understanding of regulatory requirements, enabling them to uphold the highest safety standards in their day-to-day operations. 👉 Discover how RESA Power's training can elevate your safety standards and protect your team: https://lnkd.in/eQ6FWPxn 🌐 www.resapower.com #RESApower #RESApowerservice #ThePowerOfUs #electricalpowerservices #electricalservices #electricaltesting #ArcFlash #NFPA #OSHA #ElectricalSafety #NETA #PPE

💥MANY things wrong here Jason Brozen💥 1) Insufficient Training - Electricity only kills ElectriCIANS, right⁉NOPE! Electricity doesn't care about your title! One of the biggest mistakes I see made by Employers and Safety "Professionals", they pay attention to the TITLE instead of addressing the TASK and the HAZARD. The hazard here is electricity and the tech doesn't have electrical PPE and I bet their employer hasn't given him proper or sufficient electrical safety training. He needs to be a Qualified Electrical Worker (QEW). This looks like an air handler, so assuming it is in fact an air handler, I bet they have no idea that they are required to have ElectriCAL safety training and ElectriCAL PPE. AND, AND,.... HVAC/Mechanical Tech or NOT!, they are exposed to over 50Vac, it's a 3-phase system where arc flash hazards exist AND he's using a multimeter. Drop the title, he needs to be a QEW. HEY❗guess what though⁉------- HVAC technicians don't get injured or killed by electrical hazards because they're not electriCIANS! Only us electriCIANS get injured or killed by electriCAL hazards. RIGHT??? 🤔 2)🔥Possible Arc Flash Hazard present - That's 3-phase, there lies a potential arc flash hazard, protection MAY be required and that is determined by an IEA, that I didn't see on the cover, or by referring to the NFPA 70E tables.🔥 3)⚡Electric Shock Hazard present - Those are 600V rated fuses, he's crossing the 12" Restricted Approach Boundary and he has no Electric Shock PPE. Namely, Rubber Insulating Gloves (RI6s). From what I see, he's not a QEW so technically, he shouldn't even be in there!⚡ 4)💥Not using his DMM correctly - That is a 3-phase/600V rated fused disconnect so that makes it a CAT III exposure. His DMM is CAT III, but his leads are in a CAT II state. He is using his DMM improperly.💥 5)☠No L-D-L - His DMM may have failed. That may be the problem!☠ To use a DMM, ONE (not an electriCIAN, ONE!) who uses a DMM is required to be qualified. The employer must deem this worker qualified to perform electrical testing, troubleshooting and diagnostics on energized equipment. #ElectricalSafety #ESIPAC #NFPA70E #ElectricShock #ArcFlashTraining #ElectricityOnlyKillsElectricians????? #LiveSafe

Arc-flash labeling: A critical component of electrical safety that often goes underdiscussed. As safety professionals, we know these labels serve multiple crucial purposes: 1. Inform technicians of potential hazards 2. Guide proper PPE selection 3. Establish safe work distances Beyond worker protection, proper labeling also helps organizations maintain compliance and potentially reduce liability. Key standards to be aware of: • NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) • NFPA 70E (Workplace Electrical Safety) • NFPA 70B (Electrical Equipment Maintenance) For those interested in diving deeper into NFPA 70B and its implications for arc-flash safety, I recommend checking out: https://lnkd.in/ez-ZGsZP Scott Clouse is an expert in NFPA 70B compliance who can help navigate these requirements and improve overall electrical safety. You can find more information about his expertise at the link above. Remember, staying informed about evolving safety standards is part of our ongoing responsibility as safety professionals. What are your thoughts on the importance of arc-flash labeling? Let's discuss in the comments. #ElectricalSafety #ArcFlash #workplacesafety #ContinuousLearning #NFPA70B

NFPA 70B for electrical maintenance is no longer recommended practice, it's mandatory. This standard is your go-to guide for effective electrical equipment maintenance, ensuring everything runs smoothly and safely. Ignoring it? Well, that's a risk you don't want to take. Unplanned downtimes, safety hazards, and costly repairs can be the consequences of neglect. Talk with a ProKey expert today!
