Thursday, September 16, 2010
2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. ET The National Fire Protection Association developed a document in the late 70s at the request of OSHA detailing safety requirements for workers in the electrical workplace. This standard is titled NFPA 70E. This document was typically found on the shelf, accumulating dust for numerous years and only for the past several years has the importance of this document skyrocketed. OSHA bases their inspections and fines of jobsite accidents on the information contained within this standard. Learn the important concepts of this document and how it pertains to the sign industry. Attendees will learn: - the fundamental electrical hazards that are found in the work place;
- the basics of identifying the severity of electrical hazards and the locations where they are typically found;
- the basic personal protective equipment; and
- how to keep your employees safe when working on sign equipment.
