Truly EVERYTHING you wanted to know about electrical safety

September 30, 2010 | By Anthony Capkun


mt_ignoreThe IEEE IAS (Industry Applications Society) has unveiled the agenda for its 2011 Electrical Safety Workshop, which takes place January 24-28 in Toronto, Ont., and—in our opinion—quite possibly represents everything you ever wanted to know about electrical safety.

Among the keynote presentations is Dr. Joel Fish, MD, chief medical officer of St. John’s Rehab Hospital. (You’ll remember him from EBMag’s special video documentary, “The Road to Recovery: Researching & Treating Invisible Electrical Injury at St. John’s Rehab”. CLICK HERE to see it!)

But that’s just scratching the surface!
