Year after year, electrocutions remain one of the top four leading causes of death among the construction trades. MCAA’s Electrical Safety for the Mechanical Construction and Service Industry Safety Training Video highlights the ways in which workers can protect themselves. It’s just one of MCAA’s educational resources that are free to MCAA members as a benefit of membership.
The video highlights how workers can avoid becoming one of these statistics by:
- Understanding the electrical concepts of path to ground and path of least resistance
- Keeping their powered equipment in good working order
- Using Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (or GFCIs) when necessary
- Recognizing work situations that are particularly hazardous and knowing how to handle them safely
This video is available in both English and Spanish, part of MCAA’s continued commitment to helping ensure the safety of all our industry’s workers.
