High-Impact Electrical Safety

Electricity knows only one route: the shortest path to ground. To prevent becoming a part of this path, persons working with electricity must have the proper training and have adopted good safety practices before performing any job task.  10 dramatic electrical accidents teach powerful safety lessons.

Accident victims in the video make a variety of mistakes that lead to serious injuries. Some workers, including John Combs, Sherill Foster and Mark Gilliams are not qualified to attempt specific electrical repairs. Other employees, such as Melton Bush and Jarvis Bunt, simply ignore safe work practices and get electrocuted.

Viewers will see what can happen to them after watching these dramatic re-creations of real life events. They will then choose safe work practices.

Topics include:

• You must be trained and authorized for electrical tasks
• Why electrical lockout/tagout is so important
• Verifying that circuits are de-energized
• Proper Clearance distances
• Scaffolds, pipes, ladders, lift trucks, etc. can become electrical conductors

Let this hard-hitting, real-world video show your people why electrical safety is important and help meet OSHA training requirements at the same time.
