What is an Electrically Safe Work Condition (On-Demand)

What is considered an electrically safe work condition in the NFPA 70E? Is it really a work condition or a maintenance condition? How do you safely move around exposed electrical conductors? Just what does it all mean? Join us to discover answers to these questions and to learn what to do, wear and how to qualify the work area. 

Learning Objective(s) - after participating in this session, attendees will be able to:

• Discuss electrical safety in a new light.
• Identify what to wear while working with electricity.
• Name the safe electrical zones.
