ERC Highlights Worker Health & Safety

The Energy Recovery Council has published a new Fact Sheet on Electrical Safety and Injuries.  This fact sheet was developed under the auspices of the the Alliance Agreement between the Energy Recovery Council and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The Fact Sheet will raise awareness of the risks of high voltage electrical shock, review how workers can protect themselves during high voltage electrical work, and summarize how proper medical treatment can be provided in an expedient and effective way for any worker injured by this type of hazard. While this Fact Sheet has been provided for members of the Energy Recovery Council (ERC), all industries and personnel who might encounter the effects of a high voltage electrical shock can benefit from the details of this Fact Sheet.
