Top 10 Electrical Safety Tips:

1. Develop a zero-tolerance policy toward energized work. Get serious about “no hot work.” This includes conducting an electrical hazard analysis for energized work.

2. Get out in the field or plant and see what your workers are doing.

3. Develop checklists or other ways to track who is qualified to perform which tasks. Some businesses use job-task analyses to provide a blueprint of employees’ activities.

4. Train your employees. To be qualified to perform any task, they must know the construction, operation, and hazards associated with the equipment they’re using. Supervisors should be responsible for knowing what employees can do safely.

5. Develop safe work practices and procedures. Practices like energized electrical work permits, clearance procedures, and switching orders can help prevent accidents and can help document that the right steps were taken. This is especially important in case of an accident.

6. Perform periodic safety audits. When workers know they will be subject to random audits, they will try to maintain safe work procedures and practices.

7. Conduct job briefings any time the scope of the work changes significantly and when new or different hazards are present.

8. Be cautious about implementing safety awards programs, especially if they may discourage accident reporting.

9. Become familiar with NFPA 70E and the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations.

10. Document everything. “If you don’t have it in writing, you never did it.”
Show a good-faith effort; OSHA will notice.

Whole House Video Distribution

Your video source could be a HDTV signal from an Antenna, a Satellite service, Cable TV service or video feed from security cameras. The Cable used for residential video application is RG6 Coaxial Cable Coaxial cable is called "coaxial" because it includes one physical channel that carries the signal surrounded by another concentric physical channel, both running along the same axis. The two channels are seperated by a layer of insulation and there is additional insulation around the outer concentric physical layer.

To allow for viewing of any video source in any room, the recommendation for new home video wiring are:
Run RG6 coax cable from all video sources to the central located structured wiring panel.
Run two RG6 cables to each TV location.
Ensure availability of Telephone and Internet at the Video locations for pay-per-view or other future services.
If you are planning to install a flat panel TV on wall, install wallplates at appropriate height from the floor.
