Greetings Campus Communicators,

Now that January has concluded we hope that your years is going well.

For the month of February, Environmental Health and Safety is promoting communications to support electrical safety. Most subtopics this month can apply to anyone in our campus community and a couple are oriented to anyone performing maintenance and operations type of work. Each subtopic will post to social media with a link to the blog with additional resources.

Our subtopics this month include:

Battery recharging
Flexible Cords
Water and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
Lock Out Tag Out
Tripped electrical breaker problems
Overloaded electrical outlets
Grounded plugs
Overhead Power Lines

Each topic will be posted to Facebook, although we will be growing into Instagram and Twitter shortly.

How can you help?
