The Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently released their list of the top 10 Safety and Health Violations for 2016. 32,000 inspections of workplaces completed by OSHA were conducted to compile the data. Year-to-year the list of citations rarely changes. The inspectors see thousands of the same on-the-job-hazards across hundreds of industries; any one of which could result in a fatality or severe injury.
In today’s age of high-efficiency production and processing, thousands of dollars’ worth of automation and monitoring devices and equipment rely on robust cabling solutions to work properly.

Employees working in the industrial and manufacturing industry expose themselves to arc flash risks daily. Arc flash occurs when the electric current leaves its intended path and travels through the air from one conductor to another, or to the ground. The results are often violent, and when a human is in close proximity to the arc flash, serious injury or even death can occur. CBT and Rockwell Automation can help you combat arc flash risks. Through on-site arc flash analysis, customized solutions will be drafted for your specific application.
Rubber gloves are imperative to electrical safety. There are a lot of factors to consider when selecting the correct glove for your application, as well as many standards and compliance factors your gloves must meet.
