Rutgers School of Public Health Center for Public Health Workforce Development has now added dates for Managing Electrical Hazards for Construction and General Industry courses.
Most commercial buildings have greater electrical demand, with higher voltages and multi-phased electrical services that require constant maintenance. Exposure to hazardous electrical energy may result in burns, shocks, fires, indirect fall and severe injury leading to death.
