Misconceptions About Shock Safety


Listen Later

Did you know that in the United States, shock is associated with all electrical-related fatalities? In this powerful episode, host Theresa Houck, Executive Editor of The Journal From Rockwell Automation and Our PartnerNetwork magazine, chats about electrical safety and the misconceptions about shock safety. 

I’m joined by 2 guests: Mark Pollock, Global Product Manager with Rockwell Automation Encompass Product Partner Littelfuse Inc., and Terry Becker, Electrical Safety Specialist and Management Consultant of TW Becker Electrical Safety Consulting

We talk about what contributes to severity of a shock; how NFPA 70E and CSA Z462 updates have affected trends in safety incidents: the long-term effects of get shocked; gaps in electrical safety training that urgently need addressed; how industrial GFCIs work; why risk assessments are important and how to conduct them; why UL 943C is important; and more. 

And of course, get your family-friendly, silly Joke of the Day.
