We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Electrical Safety",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Voltage indicators boost paper mill safety from
Grace Engineered Products, which we summarised at the time by saying "A voltage indicator is a permanently wired 'voltmeter' that provides electricians with a full-time, visual, independent, thru-door power indication".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Software eases the management of test data from
Seaward Electronic: "A preview facility gives users the ability to preview downloaded data and easily correct mistakes that arise during the hustle and bustle of testing".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Epsilon Test Services
- take a look at Testing company launches training programme
which says: "Epsilon is now over half way through its programme of assessment to ensure that all 60 of its periodic test engineers achieve Qualifying Supervisor status".
Take a look also at the news release from Cropico, Site eases access to in-depth test information,
as well as Wiring standards change set to change in July from EAL,
and Testing system handles multiple products from Clare Instruments.
