Underutilized Standards

Experts say standards like NFPA 1005, Professional Qualifications for Marine Firefighting for Land-Based Firefighters, and NFPA 1405, Guide for Land-Based Fire Depts that Respond to Marine Vessel Fires, are underutilized in the industry and is a problem.

Dissecting the Essential Electrical System (EES) in Healthcare Facilities

NEC requirements are designed to prevent shock and electrical fires. However, some requirements are also needed to install an electrical system that supports life safety. Essential electrical systems (EES) are a critical piece to the operation of healthcare facilities and instrumental in providing life safety in these occupancies.

New checklist helps assess damage

When electrical systems are impacted from hurricanes or other natural or man-made disasters, electricians are tasked with a critical decision about whether the electrical equipment can be salvaged or not. A new checklist can help highlight and simplify key aspects of this decision-making process.
