How can Exponent help identify workplace hazards and mitigate risks involving electric shock and electrocutions?
Accidents involving shock and electrocution are often attributed to unlicensed work on energized electrical systems, lack of worker safety training, and/or substandard lock-out/tag-out, equipment failure, or improper labeling of components. Exponent's multidisciplinary teams of electrical engineers and safety consultants are experienced and licensed to consult in a variety of electrical safety areas.
Our experts are certified and licensed to provide audits of your policies, facilities, and job sites — evaluating them for compliance with current OSHA codes and National Electrical Safety Code standards. When work-related accidents do occur or an assessment of occupational hazards is needed, our multidisciplinary teams can be deployed rapidly and scale to your needs.
We have extensive training and knowledge of electrical codes and standards, including the National Electrical Safety Code and NFPA 70E®: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace®, as well as OSHA 29 CFR 1910 regulations.
