Join Occupational Health & Safety and electrical safety expert Derek Vigstol for an interactive Executive Q&A exploring some of the most common as well as the most challenging electrical safety gray areas. Drawing from real questions submitted by safety professionals across previous webinars, Derek will discuss how organizations can make informed decisions, reduce risk, and build confidence when the path forward isn't always obvious. If you’re looking for practical guidance on applying the standards to the complex situations you face in the field, Derek will provide it in this live Q&A webinar. Whether you're responsible for electrical safety programs, facility operations, maintenance, or EHS compliance, you'll leave with practical insights you can apply to your own workplace.
More than 25 years ago, the relatively small group of arc flash specialists believed arc flash studies would taper off once facilities completed their assessments. On the contrary, a quarter of a century later, we walk into plants with no arc flash labels, workers dressed in polyester-cotton daily workwear, and some confronting the topic for the first time. On the other hand, facilities that completed arc flash studies under earlier standards assume their existing results, labels, and PPE assignments remain correct when case studies show otherwise.
Electrical safety programs often look solid on paper, but real-world conditions continue to create gaps that expose workers to serious risk. This webinar will examine some of the most persistent challenges organizations face when managing electrical hazards, from arc flash assessments and energized work decisions to NFPA 70E implementation, training, and PPE use in the field. Attendees will gain practical insight into where electrical safety programs commonly break down and what companies can do to improve both compliance and day-to-day decision-making.
