Win/Win: OSHA and Electrical Contractors Work Together to Protect Workers
An alliance between OSHA and the Independent Electrical Contractors Inc. provides both groups with training support and promotes a culture of safety through outreach to business owners and their employees.
OSHA and the Independent Electrical Contractors Inc., a trade association for electrical and systems contractors that was founded in 1957, recently renewed their alliance to protect construction workers from electrical hazards. The alliance focuses on providing agency staff with 70E and arc flash training and offers contractors guidance on preventing worker exposure to electric shock and arc flash hazards.
It’s a win/win for both parties, according to John Masarick, vice president of codes and safety for the Independent Electrical Contractors Inc. (IEP).
