July 20, 2005—Electricians can keep their updated OSHA guidelines within easy reach since the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) recently published an updated version of its OSHA Safety & Health Standards Digest for Electrical Construction Workers.
The 24-page guidebook condenses hundreds of pages of OSHA regulations that apply to electrical construction worksites, and summarizes them into key principles and steps that every employee can understand and apply. The booklet is small enough to fit in an electrician’s pocket or tool bucket for handy reference.
The guide highlights the most common safety problems in the industry. Many electrical contractors purchase the[ OSHA Digest in quantity and give it away free to their workers, to help educate them about work practices that comply with OSHA jobsite safety rules.
NECA publishes a range of book and software products that help electrical contractors develop company safety policies, run their jobs safely, protect workers, and comply with applicable worksite regulations. This new edition of the OSHA Digest, which updates and revises an earlier 1997 version, is reportedly NECA’s best-selling NECA safety publication.
OSHA Safety & Health Standards Digest for Electrical Construction Workers, Index No. 5044, is priced at $3.00 for NECA members.
Quantity discounts are available. It can be ordered online from NECA.
