Thoughts on the 2015 Edition of NFPA 70EThe NFPA Technical Committee has voted on the revisions for the 2015 edition which means there will be substantial changes to the upcoming edition of NFPA 70E NFPA staff still has to edit all the changes that were made such as assigning numbers to new tables and reordering numbering throughout but the substance of the 2015 edition is finished One of the biggest changes and one that caused the most discussion are the new PPE tables

During one lively email exchange one committee member likened the new table to ldquogoing back to the 1950s in safetyrdquo because the new table does not require arc-rated PPE for operating 480-volt equipment No such PPE is currently required in the 2012 edition only cotton clothing and safety glasses Hearing protection is required if inside the arc flash boundary but that would not apply to normal operation of equipment The new requirements really donrsquot change anything in this regard The question really is ldquoWhat should a standard requirerdquo

This is where the differences in committee philosophy become important Should NFPA 70E present ldquobest safe work practicesrdquo or should it present ldquominimum safe work practicesrdquo Neither concept is right or wrong which is why NFPA uses the process it does NFPArsquos standards process allows the middle ground to be explored and debated eventually coming to agreement as to the best ideas and requirements to make it into the document Shermco Industries has two members on NFPA 70E that represent NETA We believe NFPA 70E should represent minimum safe work practices So why do we believe the new table is a big improvement Below is a rundown on the enhancements

The new table eliminates HRC 0 and it eliminates the dozens of risk-based reductions in arc flash PPE If there is an arc flash risk properly rated arc flash PPE is required HRC 0 provides no arc flash protection and it is misleading to have it in a table that addresses the arc flash hazard

For the first time ever in NFPA 70E the table requires the worker to verify the equipment is properly installed properly maintained all equipment doors are closed and secured all covers are in place and secured and there is no evidence of impending failure This fills in the gaps in evaluating the equipment about to be operated or serviced that were in previous editions of 70E

There are significant revisions to tasks in the table including clarification that thermography by itself does not require arc-rated PPE (if certain conditions are met) and that the task of thermography does not include opening doorscovers Those tasks will require the use of properly rated arc flash protective PPE The new table is easier to apply in the field which means that it will be more widely used The current version of the table is cumbersome

and difficult to interpret correctly for many workers In the new table there is either a perceived arc flash risk or there is not If not no further requirements are mandated If there is an arc flash risk full-rated arc flash PPE must be worn Since we believe NFPA 70E should present minimum safe work practices this concept is workable It does not prevent a worker from using arc-rated PPE if that is what heshe believes is needed it just does not mandate the use of that PPE Each piece of equipment every specific situation has to be evaluated independently of any other The way the new table is proposed it allows for flexibility in the field at

the specific job location One of the advantages of having members on the NFPA 70E Technical Committee is that we not only know what the changes are

but we also understand what went into making those changes When students ask ldquoWhy would the 70E word things the way they dordquo we can answer that question We can provide insight that others cannot because we are part of the process

Beginning in January 2014 we will incorporate the 2015 changes into our electrical safety training programs while still covering the current requirements of NFPA 70E This added value from Shermco Industries is just one example why training with a company that practices what it preaches is important to keeping your workers safe and informed

Jim White is the director of training for Shermco Industries Jim is also a member of the NFPA Technical Committee for NFPA 70E ldquoStandard for Electrical Safety in the Workplacerdquo and NFPA 70B ldquoRecommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenancerdquo and a member of the ASTM F 18 Committee

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Thoughts on the 2015 Edition of NFPA 70EThe NFPA Technical Committee has voted on the revisions for the 2015 edition which means there will be substantial changes to the upcoming edition of NFPA 70E NFPA staff still has to edit all the changes that were made such as assigning numbers to new tables and reordering numbering throughout but the substance of the 2015 edition is finished One of the biggest changes and one that caused the most discussion are the new PPE tables

During one lively email exchange one committee member likened the new table to ldquogoing back to the 1950s in safetyrdquo because the new table does not require arc-rated PPE for operating 480-volt equipment No such PPE is currently required in the 2012 edition only cotton clothing and safety glasses Hearing protection is required if inside the arc flash boundary but that would not apply to normal operation of equipment The new requirements really donrsquot change anything in this regard The question really is ldquoWhat should a standard requirerdquo

This is where the differences in committee philosophy become important Should NFPA 70E present ldquobest safe work practicesrdquo or should it present ldquominimum safe work practicesrdquo Neither concept is right or wrong which is why NFPA uses the process it does NFPArsquos standards process allows the middle ground to be explored and debated eventually coming to agreement as to the best ideas and requirements to make it into the document Shermco Industries has two members on NFPA 70E that represent NETA We believe NFPA 70E should represent minimum safe work practices So why do we believe the new table is a big improvement Below is a rundown on the enhancements

The new table eliminates HRC 0 and it eliminates the dozens of risk-based reductions in arc flash PPE If there is an arc flash risk properly rated arc flash PPE is required HRC 0 provides no arc flash protection and it is misleading to have it in a table that addresses the arc flash hazard

For the first time ever in NFPA 70E the table requires the worker to verify the equipment is properly installed properly maintained all equipment doors are closed and secured all covers are in place and secured and there is no evidence of impending failure This fills in the gaps in evaluating the equipment about to be operated or serviced that were in previous editions of 70E

There are significant revisions to tasks in the table including clarification that thermography by itself does not require arc-rated PPE (if certain conditions are met) and that the task of thermography does not include opening doorscovers Those tasks will require the use of properly rated arc flash protective PPE The new table is easier to apply in the field which means that it will be more widely used The current version of the table is cumbersome

and difficult to interpret correctly for many workers In the new table there is either a perceived arc flash risk or there is not If not no further requirements are mandated If there is an arc flash risk full-rated arc flash PPE must be worn Since we believe NFPA 70E should present minimum safe work practices this concept is workable It does not prevent a worker from using arc-rated PPE if that is what heshe believes is needed it just does not mandate the use of that PPE Each piece of equipment every specific situation has to be evaluated independently of any other The way the new table is proposed it allows for flexibility in the field at

the specific job location One of the advantages of having members on the NFPA 70E Technical Committee is that we not only know what the changes are

but we also understand what went into making those changes When students ask ldquoWhy would the 70E word things the way they dordquo we can answer that question We can provide insight that others cannot because we are part of the process

Beginning in January 2014 we will incorporate the 2015 changes into our electrical safety training programs while still covering the current requirements of NFPA 70E This added value from Shermco Industries is just one example why training with a company that practices what it preaches is important to keeping your workers safe and informed

Jim White is the director of training for Shermco Industries Jim is also a member of the NFPA Technical Committee for NFPA 70E ldquoStandard for Electrical Safety in the Workplacerdquo and NFPA 70B ldquoRecommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenancerdquo and a member of the ASTM F 18 Committee

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Thoughts on the 2015 Edition of NFPA 70EThe NFPA Technical Committee has voted on the revisions for the 2015 edition which means there will be substantial changes to the upcoming edition of NFPA 70E NFPA staff still has to edit all the changes that were made such as assigning numbers to new tables and reordering numbering throughout but the substance of the 2015 edition is finished One of the biggest changes and one that caused the most discussion are the new PPE tables

During one lively email exchange one committee member likened the new table to ldquogoing back to the 1950s in safetyrdquo because the new table does not require arc-rated PPE for operating 480-volt equipment No such PPE is currently required in the 2012 edition only cotton clothing and safety glasses Hearing protection is required if inside the arc flash boundary but that would not apply to normal operation of equipment The new requirements really donrsquot change anything in this regard The question really is ldquoWhat should a standard requirerdquo

This is where the differences in committee philosophy become important Should NFPA 70E present ldquobest safe work practicesrdquo or should it present ldquominimum safe work practicesrdquo Neither concept is right or wrong which is why NFPA uses the process it does NFPArsquos standards process allows the middle ground to be explored and debated eventually coming to agreement as to the best ideas and requirements to make it into the document Shermco Industries has two members on NFPA 70E that represent NETA We believe NFPA 70E should represent minimum safe work practices So why do we believe the new table is a big improvement Below is a rundown on the enhancements

The new table eliminates HRC 0 and it eliminates the dozens of risk-based reductions in arc flash PPE If there is an arc flash risk properly rated arc flash PPE is required HRC 0 provides no arc flash protection and it is misleading to have it in a table that addresses the arc flash hazard

For the first time ever in NFPA 70E the table requires the worker to verify the equipment is properly installed properly maintained all equipment doors are closed and secured all covers are in place and secured and there is no evidence of impending failure This fills in the gaps in evaluating the equipment about to be operated or serviced that were in previous editions of 70E

There are significant revisions to tasks in the table including clarification that thermography by itself does not require arc-rated PPE (if certain conditions are met) and that the task of thermography does not include opening doorscovers Those tasks will require the use of properly rated arc flash protective PPE The new table is easier to apply in the field which means that it will be more widely used The current version of the table is cumbersome

and difficult to interpret correctly for many workers In the new table there is either a perceived arc flash risk or there is not If not no further requirements are mandated If there is an arc flash risk full-rated arc flash PPE must be worn Since we believe NFPA 70E should present minimum safe work practices this concept is workable It does not prevent a worker from using arc-rated PPE if that is what heshe believes is needed it just does not mandate the use of that PPE Each piece of equipment every specific situation has to be evaluated independently of any other The way the new table is proposed it allows for flexibility in the field at

the specific job location One of the advantages of having members on the NFPA 70E Technical Committee is that we not only know what the changes are

but we also understand what went into making those changes When students ask ldquoWhy would the 70E word things the way they dordquo we can answer that question We can provide insight that others cannot because we are part of the process

Beginning in January 2014 we will incorporate the 2015 changes into our electrical safety training programs while still covering the current requirements of NFPA 70E This added value from Shermco Industries is just one example why training with a company that practices what it preaches is important to keeping your workers safe and informed

Jim White is the director of training for Shermco Industries Jim is also a member of the NFPA Technical Committee for NFPA 70E ldquoStandard for Electrical Safety in the Workplacerdquo and NFPA 70B ldquoRecommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenancerdquo and a member of the ASTM F 18 Committee

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Why do we need trainingThis question is asked every day in businesses across America and for good reason US companies spent over $125 Billion on learning and development opportunities for the employees Thatrsquos an average of $1081 per employee enrolled in a training course So I think itrsquos fair to say that training alone is a big business And your business is a big one too Regardless of the size of your company your business is a big one to you You owe it to your all involved your company your shareholders your customers and your employees to ensure that you know not only why yoursquore training them but also what training they need in order to perform their jobs efficiently and safely

(1) Efficiency Electrical workers involved in the construction operation and maintenance of electrical equipment must to be able to perform their tasks efficiently You want them to be able to complete the job as quickly as possible using as few resources as possible Well-trained and confident workers can do that without cutting corners that may reduce the reliability of your equipment and increase your down time In order to accomplish that you need to know what your workers do on a regular basis and at what level of proficiency This isnrsquot always an easy task Evaluating training needs goes much deeper than your training budget and isnrsquot subject to financial constraints itrsquos what your people must know how to do How well they do it can make all the difference between reliable operation and costly repairs

(2) Safety This is an absolute must in any facility Nothing you do is worth getting an employee injured or killed Your people are your greatest assets and so it only makes sense to ensure that they can work safely Itrsquos also the law Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 654) requires employers to ldquofurnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from

recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employeesrdquo That doesnrsquot mean just eliminating recognized hazards but training them to recognize when unsafe conditions exist and take appropriate action to minimize or remove the danger 29 CFR 1910269(a)(2) mandates training for workers involved in power generation transmission and distribution activities while 1910332(a) directs training for other electrical workers The law notwithstanding safety training is the right thing to do Employees who know that their employer makes safety a top priority and provides training to back it up are more confident in their own ability to work safely and know theyrsquoll be going home at the end of the shift the same way they

came to work walking Itrsquos worth the money to have that peace of mind

Ultimately itrsquos up to you to determine the training your workers receive and how much money you spend on it Yoursquod spend more if the accountants would let you right Because when you know what your people need to know and why they need to know it the cost of training is lower than the price of ignorance And thatrsquos money well spent

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations

Shermcos Safety Compliance SolutionsOSHA standards require that employers adopt certain practices means methods or processes reasonably necessary to protect workers on the job It is the responsibility of employers to become familiar with standards applicable to their establishments to eliminate hazardous conditions to the extent possible and to comply with the standards Team Shermco is available to assist you in this effortAs a field service operation we have an advantage over most engineering and consulting firms in that not only do we provide information to our customers related to electrical safety and system operations we actually deal with and implement those same issues within our own organization Additionally members of our staff are actively involved in electrical standards including committee membership participation in NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop and many other industry-related committees and organizations Services available include the following

SITE SAFETY ASSESSMENTAUDITElectrical equipment presents a unique set of safety hazards that must be addressed to minimize potential injury prevent loss of life and protect property Unlike an audit that looks for NEC violations the Site Safety Assessment is intended to determine whether the policies procedures training and work practices are adequate to meet OSHA MSHA and NFPA 70E requirements Weaknesses and strengths of your existing electrical safety program (ESP) and management controls are evaluated and a report is delivered that outlines what steps should be taken and helps prioritize the findings A cross-section of workers and supervisors are interviewed to determine their understanding of regulatory requirements and safe work practices also The Site Safety Assessment incorporates the Electrical Safety Program Review as well

ARC FLASH STUDYArc-flash hazard studies determine the hazard distance and amount of incident energy that can occur in electrical equipment These studies are used to determine what level of protective gear workers should wear when working on or near energized electrical equipment Shermcorsquos arc-flash studies are performed in accordance with ANSIIEEE Standard 1584 (IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) and NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEWTeam Shermco will review your electrical safety program for conformance with existing consensus standards OSHA and MSHA regulations Our objective is to ensure that processes and procedures are in place such that company personnel and outside servicing workers (subcontractors etc) are apprised of site hazards PPE requirements safe work practices and emergencyevacuation procedures This includes evaluating your complete written Electrical Safety Program and providing a full report upon completion

ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTElectrical safety is addressed by many regulatory agencies Every site should have a comprehensive electrical safety program including arc-flash studies and written lock-out procedures Shermco can help you develop and implement a comprehensive program to ensure safe work practices and compliance Electrical Safety Program (ESP) elements include purpose and policy responsibilities employee training requirements inspections and audit standards equipment standards standard operating procedures for electrical work personal protective equipment requirements and labels and signs

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAININGIn order to be considered a qualified electrical person OSHA would expect the worker to meet the definition of 1910399 the requirements of 1910332 and 1910333 In short that person would have to have safety training demonstrate specific skills during that training and also be skilled in the technical aspects of a task Shermcos electrical safety training program for qualified electrical workers is designed to provide the mandated electrical safety training required to meet OSHAs regulations
