Free up-to-date guide on electrical industry workplace safety

Latest News

THE NATIONAL Electrical and Communications Association has partnered with Pro-Visual Publishing to release the latest version of its Electrical Industry Guide to Workplace Safety.

The 2015/2016 version of the guide set out the responsibilities that various roles within a business have in contributing to safe workplaces, especially around electrical equipment.

Electricians are subjected to all sorts of dangerous working conditions, such as working live on switchboards. This can result in unforseen accidents and, worse still, fatalities. Therefore, safe work procedures are necessary to establish in the workplace to outline relevant safety tips and guidelines.

The guide also highlights an industry initiative called MATES In Construction, which focuses on on implementing ways to reduce the suicide rate in the electrical industry. Workers are encouraged to look after one another and address any issues that may be affecting them.

Thanks to sponsorship, the Electrical Industry Guide to Workplace Safety 2015/16 is distributed free of charge by Pro-Visual Publishing.
