To maintain OSHA compliance and maximize safety for employees, suggest that your industrial customers conduct an audit of their facility to determine where workers might be most at-risk for exposure to electrical hazards. You can assist them with a walk-through of the facility to identify safety hazards to help them form short- and long-term plans that incorporate periodic safety trainings, regular equipment maintenance, and a family of OSHA compliant devices.
Electrical safety training programs help to make the protection of industrial workers a priority and ensures workplace safety. Training programs should identify electrical hazards and the ways that each employee might be exposed to them. After a training, employees should be capable of recognizing where exposure to an electrical hazard exists and understanding which standing guidance applies to each work task.
One commonly recommended approach is to conduct inspections as often as committee meetings are held. Planning is essential for an inspection to effectively identify if, when, and how a worker might be exposed to an electrical hazard. In turn, this also indicates what steps the worker must take to minimize or avoid their exposure.
