Emerson Network Power reports that electrical codes should more strongly address the location of onsite power gear in a building to better protect the public during disasters such as Superstorm Sandy.

Electrocutions are the fourth leading cause of traumatic occupation fatalities in the United States.

The problem with mission-critical emergency systems is that failures only occur when the systems are called upon to operate.

As a follow up to a recent Mission Critical webinar, I thought it would be helpful to publish some FAQs about the subject of safety. 

Throughout my career, I have experienced many safety hazards from technicians getting minor electrical shocks to being electrocuted and burned over 60 percent of their body. 

A webinar I did for Mission Critical on August 22 inspired me to publish some FAQs about the subject of electrical safety. I included some questions asked by our audience during and after the event and many I have been asked over the years.
