Competency in Wind Energy

The wind sector alone has a growing trend of electrical incidents!

The primary focus of this session was to look at at electrical safety red spots in the wind sector. We discussed the importance of assessing ‘competence’ to ensure further electrical incidents in the Wind Sector do not take place.

Implementing your Electrical Safety Program

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

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

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.

Prevent (B) – Prevent Electrical Safety Risks with Good Processes & Controls

Part 2 (B) of our new Electrical Safety and Compliance workshops - Prevent Electrical Safety Risks with Good Processes & Controls. This 5-part webinar series focuses on a significant acronym (4P’s) Predict, Prevent, Protect and Psychology.

We had Industry Expert, Staff Controls Dev Engineer, Kyle Veugeler from TESLA (previously at ABB Robotics) plus Graham Hogg EngTech TMIET - Senior Electrical Engineer and Managing Director of Exeltech Ltd.

Managing Electrical Safety in Data Centres

SKANWEAR® are launching a new series of Electrical Safety Workshops focusing on the rapidly growing data centre industry and the unique electrical safety risks it has.

In this Non-Commercial event with Martin Talbot (Engineering Manager for Equinix) and Marcin Ruta (Owner of MR Power Tech) you will learn about the critical areas of electrical safety risk in data centres and proven mitigation solutions and practises.

Electrical Safety Compliance in Wind Energy

Welcome to a new series of Electrical Safety Compliance Workshops focused entirely on the Renewable Wind Energy Sector.

On Wednesday 9th September we will be hosting Workshop Number One with Three excellent panellist speakers.

Electrical Safety Standards & Legislation

This is part 6 of our Electrical Safety Compliance series. Adhering to your country Safety Standards and Legislation is critical. We will be giving an overview of various Electrical Safety Standards and Legislation from around the world – IET, IEC, IEEE, NFPA70E and some more local legislation. We have two very experienced speakers joining us;

Electrical Safety Authorisation & Training

This is part 5 of our Electrical Safety Compliance series. Critical aspects of any Electrical Safety Compliance Program are Authorisation & Training. Not anyone is qualified to work on electricity, do you understand the competency and qualifications required? You have the electrical engineering team but how are they trained, when are they are trained and what are they trained to know?

Inspections, Audit & Accident Investigation with ABB & Bureau Veritas

This is part 4 of our Electrical Safety Compliance series. We are collaborating once again with Industry Specialist & Electrical Safety Authority Mitch Cini (Global Incident Investigations Program Manager at ABB) and also Michael Kenyon (Technical Lead at Bureau Veritas) to deliver an engaging scenario-based live webinar.

In this session you will experience one of the most engaging & dynamic presentations on having correct Electrical Inspections, Auditing and then what happens if you have a failure?! Accident Investigations – capturing the incidents AND near misses and ensuring ‘learns’ are obtained and improvements made to prevent catastrophes happening

Electrical Safety PPE with Hugh Hoagland

This is part 3 of our Electrical Safety Compliance series. We are collaborating once again with an Industry Expert & Electrical Safety Authority – the world acclaimed Hugh Hoagland (Sr Managing Partner from E- Hazard) to deliver a highly engaging webinar on Electrical Safety PPE.

In this session you will experience one of the most engaging & dynamic presentations relating to Electrical Safety PPE – Looking at Facts, Myths & Folklore around Arc Flash and Electric Shock.

Safe Systems of Work with Jon Travis, P Eng, PM

This is part 2 of our Electrical Safety Compliance series. We are collaborating once again with an Industry Expert & Electrical Safety Authority – Jon Travis from Leaf Electrical to deliver an engaging scenario-based live webinar.

In this session you will experience one of the most engaging & dynamic presentations relating to Safe Systems of Work with the foundation being Risk Assessments. You will not see or hear boring ‘text book’ theory but a totally fresh approach.

What’s your Defence? With Graham Harvey

imagine a sequence of events, you had a major electrical incident, people are serious hurt maybe even some have died, what comes next, what could have been done to prevent this? What other consequences are to come?  

This is part 1 of our Electrical Compliance series for National Electrical Safety Month. We are collaborating once again with Industry Expert, Electrical Compliance guru and Former Global Safety Director for GE Power Conversion Graham Harvey to deliver an engaging scenario-based presentation.
