The Electrical Safety Authority (ESA), Ontario’s electrical safety regulator, says it has launched its inaugural podcast series, Grounded in Ontario, for Licensed Electrical Contractors (LECs), Master and certified electricians and individuals aspiring to work in the electrical trade.
ESA says the podcast “brings listeners the forum to hear from ESA’s electrical experts and technical advisors, to discuss industry trends.”
Listeners will be able to grow their knowledge and skillset by receiving updates on the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, safety hazards to watch out for and technical guidance.
“At ESA, we’re passionate about electrical safety and about our licence holder community,” says Josie Erzetic, the authority’s Chief Regulatory Officer and general counsel said in a statement last week. “Grounded in Ontario is a podcast that will explore topics and best practices to equip and assist LECs with practical, helpful information they need to do electrical jobs safely.”
Topics to be discussed include pool and hot tub installations, electric vehicle supply equipment and energy storage systems, to name a few.
