Annually, thousands of individuals in the US suffer injuries caused by electricity. At times, workers may come across equipment and circuits that are powered or pose a risk of being energized during their tasks. Without adequate precautions, an arc flash incident can occur.
An arc flash, also known as a flashover, is an electrical discharge or explosion arising from a connection through the air to the ground or another voltage phase within an electrical setup. For instance, this happens when a wire comes into contact with an earthed system. Working near or within electrical panels and systems heightens the risk of exposure to an arc flash, necessitating extreme safety measures.

The Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA) recently hosted an exclusive Process Control Technical Work Group meeting at Endress+Hauser headquarters in Greenwood, Indiana. The meeting brought together experts in the process control and instrumentation industry to help validate certification standards for process control in areas such as process control systems, process control troubleshooting, and smart process instrumentation.
In this video, SACA Executive Director Jim Wall and Endress+Hauser Director of Workforce Development Nicole Otte discuss the importance of industry experts providing input on the skills and competencies needed for today’s smart manufacturing workforce. Collaboration with industry experts is essential to create nationally-recognized, occupation-driven certifications that will ensure that future workers have the skills employers need most.
According to Wall, “The whole goal of having the standards and certifications program is to help schools and colleges and other training providers develop and expand programs that include these new technologies, so that we get more people with these skills into the workforce.”
Ladder safety is a key aspect of fall prevention. According to the CDC, 81% of fall injuries, which is the leading source of fatalities among construction site workers, involve the use of ladders. As such, it’s important to remember and follow ladder safety best practices. Ladder Training isn’t considered a necessity by law, but the importance is often overlooked. The HSE recommends that anyone using ladders needs to be competent and carrying out officially certified training is one way to do this. Teaching the basics of ladder health and safety can help prevent potential injuries and inform others on how to identify if a ladder is a potential risk.
Learning Objectives
The primary goal of this course is to teach workers safe work procedures to follow when using ladders in a work environment. The user will learn:
- To identify hazards associated with ladder use
- How to select the correct ladder for the job
- How to inspect a ladder for defects
- How to practice proper safety procedures
- To see the consequences of improper actions
The Ladder Safety simulation is ideal for employees or supervisors who work in or around work environments that utilize ladders.
