Mike Moore, of Shermco Industries, is scheduled to speak on “Safety Related Maintenance Practices” at the 23rd Annual Region VI Voluntary Protection Program Participants’ Association’s Regional Safety Conference, which takes place March 9-12, 2010 at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Moore’s presentation examines a key area in which NFPA 70E compliance issues can arise due to improper or neglected maintenance of electrical wiring, mechanisms and equipment, which can significantly increase the probability of workplace injury or death.
“Having a complete understanding of NFPA 70E is essential to maintaining a safe workplace,” said Moore. “In dealing with electricity and its components, it’s important to remember that electrical safety doesn’t stop with initial precautionary measures, because many incidents occur due to poor electrical maintenance practices.”
Region VI VPPPA, which serves Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas, is a chapter of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Voluntary Protection Program.
