TW Becker Electrical Safety Consulting Inc.

The 2024 edition of CSA Z462 is packed with updates to help protect workers from arc flash and electric shock hazards. Yet, many companies have not trained their teams on the latest edition. 👉 Why is that? ↳ Is it because CSA Z462 hasn’t been adopted into law (yet)? ↳ Is it because incidents aren’t happening in your workplace (yet)? ↳ Or is it on the radar, but there are too many other ‘fires burning'? ______ The truth is, waiting until it’s mandatory or until an incident occurs isn’t an electrical safety strategy—𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. By training staff on the newest CSA Z462 updates and changes, you show your commitment to a proactive safety culture, ensuring workers go home safely every day. I’m genuinely curious why you haven’t trained staff yet. Share your thoughts or experiences below ⬇️!

Is ‘sticker shock’ a problem on your worksite? Labelling every piece of equipment is NOT effective. You may think it warns employees of the electrical hazards before they open up the electrical equipment. - Yet - it is a distraction and it can contribute to other human error pre-cursors for your qualified persons. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞? Get an arc flash hazard incident energy analysis study completed. Install one or possible two COMPLIANT and easy-to-read arc flash and shock equipment labels, clarifying the electrical protective device ID, load side, line side, bus, Maint. Mode ON, or Arc Flash Relay ON. Agree? Disagree? _____ These are the types of conversations we have in my half-day electrical safety training sessions. CSA Z462 and NFPA 70E both require re-training every three years. 👉 Who on your team is overdue? By creating clarity on the work site…  We give employees confidence and certainty. Reduce risk, and keep employees safe.
