MIND YOUR SAFETY

by Dave Smith
	A lot changes in 30 years
	Where do you Stand on the Left-Hand Rule
	And then the lights went out
	Hard hats and jerking knees....again
	Listening Alone is Not Learning
	Check Applicable Up-to-Date Drawings
	Heads up and hats off with foam inserts
	Know your responsibility before you cross-train
	Open Season on Pranksters
	Shush! People are trying to not get themselves killed
	The application of safety grounds
	Avoid future extraordinary losses
	Bulletproof your safety documentation
	Catch the Z462 train... or be crushed by it
	CSA Z462 puts the squeeze on small electrical contractors

The successful student will receive a solid understanding of single and three phase electrical systems, installation procedures and troubleshooting techniques. The program places maximum emphasis on teaching troubleshooting and preventive maintenance skills combined with safe work practices and procedures. This program saved one client a year of OJT with increases in safety, quality and productivity.

Who Should Attend: Millwrights, mechanics, and other trades who's jobs require a certain amount of cross training in industrial electrical systems. This also includes workers who may need simply to communicate effectively with electrical workers.
