  • Abstract
    A new contractor is signed on to perform electrical work. The corporate environmental health and safety verification process is complete. The terms, conditions and other commercial terms are in place between both organizations. Now, as the host company´s representative, the next most important step in the process begins: qualify the individual electrical workers prior to them entering work site. Poor management of this critical task can impede to successful project completion dates, the host company´s bottom line and even endanger human life. This presentation will discuss the pitfalls of hiring the wrong, non-compliant contractor and how to ensure the on-site personnel can perform the project successfully and safely.
