The best ways to protect yourself from hazards while working in the electrical field is to control how the job site is run. Licensed electricians who pull their own permits are in the best position to ensure that the jobsite is run in a safe manner.
Practicing electrical workplace safety can mean the difference between having a long, successful and lucrative career versus having to suffer from workplace lawsuits due to disability or death from avoidable workplace accidents. Keeping up to date with OSHA standards that focus on the design and use of electrical equipment and systems is key to minimizing electrical hazards.OSHA standards cover the exposed or operating elements of an electrical installation such as lighting, equipment, motors, machines, appliances, and enclosures. OSHA standards require that they be constructed and installed to minimize workplace electrical dangers.Since most electrical accidents result from unsafe equipment that is improperly installed, an unsafe environment, or unsafe work practices, accidents can be prevented through the use of insulation, guarding, grounding, electrical protective devices, and safe work practices.Taking the time to become familiar with and applying OSHA standards for the design and use of electrical equipment and systems is time well spent.Passing your electrical exam and working under permits you’ve pulled means that not only will you be in control of job site safety, but you’ll also control when and where you work and how much you make.We can help you reach your goal.
