Ask Me Anything: Electrical Safety with Zarheer Jooma
Tuesday August 20, 2024 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT
Do you have a lot of questions about electrical safety? Now is your chance to get them answered. Electrical safety expert Zarheer Jooma, P.E., IEEE (SM’17), and partner at e-Hazard, will join Occupational Health & Safety for a full hour to address your queries on electrical safety, including standards, risk assessment, incident investigation, and more. As the heading suggests, you can ask Zarheer anything related to electrical safety, and he will share his extensive knowledge and expertise with the audience. Think of this as an open office hour with a knowledgeable safety authority.
In addition to the Q&A session, OH&S executive editor and publisher David Kopf will interview Jooma on various pertinent and timely electrical topics. However, the majority of the session will be dedicated to answering YOUR questions about electrical safety.
Why are we introducing the Ask Me Anything format? Each of Zarheer's webinars generates numerous questions (usually more than 80) — far more than he can answer during the sessions. Therefore, we decided to give you, the safety professional, an opportunity to get your important electrical safety questions addressed.
