Many common dangers in and around electrical construction projects can be easily addressed. In 2015, there were more than 500,000 structural fires in the U.S., causing $14.3 billion in property damage. More OSHA violations were written for fall protection than anything else in 2016. Each year, 350,000 damages occur to underground utilities. This session will discuss the latest trends in fire stopping, personal safety equipment and underground asset management and provide resources to help identify and solve these problems.
