The professional who brings the electricity from the plant to the home. They work with substations, transformers, and the lines that run either underground or from pole to pole to bring the power to the structure.
NFPA 70E has done a lot to improve the safety of electricians, workers and utility personnel. The proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is a critical aspect of any electrical safety program. Electrical hazards average about 4,000 injuries in the workplace each year. While fatalities related to worker electrocutions have declined dramatically with regulation on operating procedures, equipment improvements and PPE (from 300 deaths to around 70 per year in the last twenty years) even one death is too many.
That is why PIP has invested in developing products that meet and surpass industry standards. We believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
