High Voltage Electrical Professionals Needed

Working with high voltage electrical systems is an extremely dangerous job. The smallest mistakes can lead to serious injuries, even loss of life.  A general maintenance worker without training in handling live electrical equipment or an unqualified electrician with insufficient knowledge of safety procedures to mitigate potential hazards will increase your liability. The same is applicable to the use of outside electrical contractors with unqualified workers. Businesses owners who ignore these risks put both their employees and livelihood in jeopardy. 

Dangers of Working with High Voltage Electricity

Voltages over 600 volts are in the high voltage category. Electrical injuries from direct contact or exposure to high voltages are of many types. They include:

  • Electrical burns
  • Electrical shock
  • Falls
  • Skin ruptures
  • Damage to the heart and internal organs
  • Neurological injuries
  • Eye injuries
  • Electrocution (which can be fatal)

OSHA requires that all workers who work on or near electrical equipment must have proper training. Workplace accidents arising out of negligence and failure to comply with established safety protocol can lead to heavy fines, multi-million-dollar law suits and in extreme circumstances, a complete shutdown of your business operations.

Why Hire a Commercial Electrician for High Voltage Work

Qualified commercial electricians have the knowledge, skills and experience to minimize potential hazards.

  • They know how to use special tools and work procedures required for high voltage work, including barricading requirements.
  • Their training ensures they understand special hazards associated with high voltage equipment like flames and electrical arcs and can exercise the necessary controls per regulatory standards.
  • Specialized training includes electrical safety best practices to provide the correct response should a situation occur.

When hiring a commercial electrician, make sure they have high voltage training as well as sufficient experience with the type of equipment you want to install or repair.
