The National Fire Protection Association recently revised its standard NFPA 70E - Electrical Safety in the Workplace. The changes affect mechanical service technicians exposed to energized HVAC equipment. In response, MCAA has developed and produced all new safety training materials to help service technicians protect themselves when working on or around energized electrical conductors or circuit parts from equipment pushing 480 volts or less. The materials are based on NFPA 70E - 2015, Article 130 - Work Involving Electrical Hazards. The following new resources - free to MSCA and MCAA members - are now available: 

• Worker Safety Training Video;
• Training Guide that Highlights Key Training Points;
• Training Documentation Sheet; and
• 20-Question Multiple Choice Test

Open their eyes to their importance by providing them with skills they need to be:          

• An effective people motivator rather than a punisher;
• A proactive planner rather than a knee-jerk responder;
• A team leader rather than a team member;
• A skillful communicator, listener and arbiter rather than a my-way-or-the-highway dictator; and
• A business- and results-oriented manager focused on growing your company's profits and brand.

Make the decision now while space is available to send your foremen and supervisors to MCAA's Field Leaders Conference (October 14-16, Baltimore, MD), an interactive learning event. Take advantage of discounts for multiple attendees. Not certain who you'll send? Then hold the spots with "TBA."
