Our Interview with Jason Brozen: The Importance of Electrical PPE

Jason Brozen joined our Podcast a little while back. We discussed some really important topics including his Arc Flash Incident & the real-time risk assessments on work hazards. Jason's perspective is excellent and worth sharing. 

Watch the episode in full below. 

 

Here are some key takeaways if you can't watch the full episode (which we highly recommend)

- Every time someone survives, you just go, ah, I'm good. When in fact you may have been at a much greater risk (22 minute mark)

- Even if the job only takes five seconds, put on your PPE (26 minute mark)

- Whether your company has a fantastic safety program or a bad one ... people still need training (26 minute mark)

- Five o'clock on a Friday, Pressure from the client, Emergency Call... all of these things add to the pressure of the job at hand, but should never be a reason to not be safe. (31 minute mark)
