Implementing your Electrical Safety Program

Ben Cass
The primary focus of this session was to look at setting the vision and enforcing electrical safety programs from a global and local standpoint. We touched on the importance of raising awareness and ways to influence all levels of the business to understand ‘why’.

This time, we had Global Electrical Leader Joe Cunningham from GE Renewable Energy supporting us. He focused on how to roll out a programme that is immune to "people changes," how to do it globally, the factors you should take into account, and much more.

We also had the honour of Ashley Smith, Terminal Electrical Engineering Manager at NationalGrid. Ashley concentrated on his personal implementation experience on a ground level, discussing Arc Flash studies, relays, and PPE with some situations for viewers to consider.

LinkedinLive: Arc Flash Awareness Review

Ben Cass
Each year too many people are being killed or seriously injured as the result of an Electric Arc Flash. An Electric Arc flash results from an arcing fault, where the electric arcs resulting in severe skin burns, hearing damage, and eye injuries.

The purpose of this presentation is to raise awareness of this increasingly hazardous risk that for many years has been ignored or dismissed as being too low frequency to be concerned about. An increase in fatalities is forcing us to consider the Arc Flash risk seriously and take steps to protect our people and equipment from these devastating events.

Within this presentation you will get a basic overview of the risk, the impact it has to human life and steps that you can take to mitigate against this potentially fatal risk. Ideally suited for anyone that works on or near live or potentially live electricity, or managers or purchases for people that do.

Creating your Electrical Safety Program

Ben Cass

Plan, Do, Check and Evolve serves as a solid foundation for continuous improvement and has application across many processes, but here we are looking at this model to help specifically address electrical safety.

Don’t wait for an accident or legal case before you have a thorough review of your current approach to electrical safety. Our approach has application across all aspects of electrical safety and provides a complete picture to help companies understand how to grow and maintain their electrical safety program.
