Shelton, Conn. – Hubbell Wiring Systems announces a new Safety Evaluation, a step-by-step checklist designed to help customers enhance safety in the workplace. Part of Hubbell’s comprehensive HubbellSafe safety initiative, the new Safety Evaluation is aimed at reviewing the condition of existing wiring devices to identify potential safety hazards and comply with the latest safety codes.
From wet areas, personal protection, and tripping hazards, to temporary power, motor disconnects, and safe repair and maintenance, the Safety Evaluation covers a wide variety of safety issues found in both industrial and commercial working environments. For each potential safety hazard, the Safety Evaluation poses key inspection questions and details related National Electric Code (NEC), NEMA or OSHA requirement. To help correct identified problems, the Safety Evaluation offers possible solutions based on Hubbell’s wide range of products designed to provide electrical safety and code compliance.
“Workplace safety has a significant impact on our customers’ businesses, including employee safety and productivity, machine downtime and production throughput,” says Bob Simon, Director of Industrial Marketing for Hubbell. “Having always put safety first, Hubbell understands the importance of making safety a core value by conducting periodic inspections and maintaining awareness of related codes and regulations. While not all-inclusive, Hubbell’s new Safety Evaluation is designed to help our customers avoid safety problems in the workplace and ultimately reduce risk.”
The new Safety Evaluation is part of Hubbell’s broader safety initiative that includes several resources, including a safety product guide, new landing page on the www.hubbell-wiring.com website and an interactive e-learning course. The new Safety Evaluation is available from the Hubbell Wiring Systems website safety landing page. It can be viewed online, downloaded in a PDF format, or ordered as print copy.
