OSHA finally said arc flash out loud, and it changes the conversation for every safety professional trying to get compliance taken seriously. Jarod Guier and Steve Quiett break down the November 2024 OSHA guidance, what it means for your facility, why approach boundaries got highlighted twice, and why what workers wear underneath their arc rated PPE is a bigger problem than most people realize.

Compliance training only works when someone is watching. Belief bias is what keeps workers safe when nobody is around. Jarod Guier and Steve Quiett dig into what electrical safety training actually needs to look like, who needs to be in the room, and why so many facilities are getting it wrong. We also cover your training format options and why OSHA still does not allow video as a substitute. If you are responsible for electrical safety training at your facility, this one is for you.

If there is no arc flash label on your equipment, your workers have no idea what they are walking into. Jarod Guier and Steve Quiett break down what a proper arc flash risk assessment looks like, what information every label needs to include, and why incidental contact is now one of the biggest threats facing electrical workers today. A must-listen for safety managers and anyone responsible for electrical workers on the job.

Most companies have a written electrical safety program. Very few have one that anyone has actually read. Steve and Jarod dig into why the ESP has to come before everything else, PPE, arc flash labeling, all of it. They cover what bad ESPs look like in the real world, why simpler is almost always better, and how AI is starting to change the game. If you're responsible for electrical safety at your facility, this one's for you.

Careers in electrical safety rarely start on purpose. They usually start after an incident. Steve Quiett and Jarod Guier talk honestly about how they got into electrical safety, what they wish they had learned sooner, and why understanding the why matters more than rules alone.

Electrical safety is changing fast. New OSHA guidance. New PPE technology. More energy everywhere. Steve Quiett and Jarod Guier talk about what’s coming next, why awareness is lagging behind risk, and what recent data tells us about how people actually get hurt around electricity.

Electrical injuries rarely start with bad intentions. They start with gaps in glove programs, PPE selection, and training. In the first episode of Electrical Safety Talks, Steve Quiett and Jarod Guier share real field experience on voltage rated gloves, arc rated versus FR clothing, NFPA 70E, and who needs electrical safety training in working facilities.
