Military Trained Electricians and Electronic Technicians

hey zog, i knew you must be a sailor, me too, FDR cva-42 uss franklin d. roosevelt, 74-76, i bet there's a bunch of navy on this site.

as for working hot, i have to change my ways, i have been working hot, i must confess, but, after reading you guys posts, i am starting to get right and sober up.
thanks

The various branches of the military have indeed trained many men and women who have or are now serving as electricians and electronic technicians. I too am confident that there are many persons using the several Mike Holt forums who have served our nation and received lots of valuable electrical/electronics training in the process.

No doubt the greatest value in all that is written and discussed in the SAFETY FORUM is when someone, in this case you steveng, decides to redirect his work habits away from unsafe practices and towards safe practices. Congratulations and enjoy the new confidence that comes when knowing you really are working safely...

Just a short question:Exactly whom did not want to "shut down the lights"?

Just a short question:Exactly whom did not want to "shut down the lights"?

The production manager and the maintenance manager didn't want the lights off.

Have to many deadlines to meet.

I decide after that the the only deadline would be me if I had that happen again.

Greetings Sailors!

Greetings Sailors!

Hello fellow sailors! OK I'm a shallow water sailor, :grin: Retired Coast Guard, but Electrical Safety is all the same!
Working on a DOE Lab has sure reinforced safety with 70E.
We at Princeton Plasma Lab never work anyting hot, our director states that there is nothing here that can't be shut down. Some of our sensitive equipment that needs power 24/7 gets temporary genset feeds. Extension cords are temporary and can run thru doorways, windows, ect, for the duration of the outage. Our local AHJ, authorizes this, weighing the risk of damage to the cords out weigh the risk of working hot.

Thank you all for your service! Remember our fallen on Memorial Day!
