Description
| As an electrical contractor, your risk exposures can vary greatly from one job to the next and successful contractors have many options to ensure that their assets are protected correctly. This session will discuss what progressive NECA members are doing to effectively manage their risk and improve their bottom line in the process and provide guidance for developing and maintaining an effective safety management strategy. Drawing from NECA’s Standing Policy on Safety and the importance of implementing shared responsibilities, the essentials from personal and organizational safety philosophies and how policies can serve to achieve effective safety programs will be covered. During the session, attendees will be presented with a real life arc flash case study, with a total loss value in excess of $1,000,000, reviewing damages and injuries to determine what happened and who is liable. |
