Electrical shocks can kill or maim. This program will help you recognize electrical dangers at work and at home. Faulty tools and high-voltage wires are just some of the dangers shown. First aid for electrical-shock victims is also included.

In this dynamic video, plant employees return from break to find a co-worker lying next to a conveyer where she had been electrocuted and a finger nail file was lying next to her body. As the investigation proceeds, viewers will see how other tragic mistakes involving electricity may have been similar to the mistake that caused Donna's death.

This video informs the viewer what electromagnetic field awareness is and what objects emit it. Discusses with worker how they are exposure and ways of minimizing the exposure.

Excellent for new and experienced employees. Supplements OSHA requirements for emergency preparedness training. Extinguishers, sprinklers, housekeeping, chemicals, cords, receptacles and power tools.

Illustrates how Chance SloFast Fuse Links eliminate unnecessary outages, protect the transformer from secondary faults, and protect the system from failed transformers.

Training session conducted at Kansas Gas & Electric Company shows boom-and-cradle method.

Changing insulators on A-type structures. Changing insulators on two-arm suspension construction. Changing a crossarm on two-arm angle construction.

Shot on user premises, this video shows the installation procedures of the "Super Top-Tie" line ties. Produced by A.B. Chance Co.

Changing horizontal clamp-top post-type insulators. Changing insulators on vertical clamp-top, post-type construction.

The true life story of Randy Fellhoelter's close encounter with death after intentionally violating safety work rules and procedures. Although Randy's accident was caused by his accidental contact with 7,200 volts of electricity, the video focuses on how individual behavior plays a major role in accidents and/or accident prevention. The specific details of the accident were omitted from the video to draw attention to the conditions that led up to the tragedy that changed Randy's life forever. WARNING:THIS IS A VERY GRAPHIC VIDEO.

Shows deadend, V-string and suspension insulator changes on twin bundle lines, on steel pole H-frames. The deadend line is also worked by the bare hand method.

Reviews insulator changes on vertical-type deadends and insulator changes on running corner.

Correct techniques and procedures in making a good low resistance connection with hot line clamps.

A discussion and illustrations of proper anchor testing equipment, procedures and evaluating performance of anchor tests.

This video will help you to understand what the NEC requires and how to use this information. Some of the subjects covered are: Examples of a typical motor nameplate, motor amperages and voltages, service factor, locked rotor and starting currents, fuse and circuit breaker sizing, motor overload protection, motor disconnecting means requirements and more.

Conclusive series of 20 laboratory tests demonstrates the necessity for an insulated link stick whenever employing a nylon strap hoist for hot line applications. Test variables include: Three strap lengths, three voltages (7.62, 14.4 and 20kV), and both wet and dry strap conditions.

Actual demonstration shows how to place dual-point and personal grounds on overhead distribution lines. Techniques in action help reinforce sound reasons for the methods and step-by-step procedures.

Demonstrates the method of installing a new pole beside one that is to be replaced, and then placing conductors on the new pole using hot sticks. An auger truck with a boom is also used to assist in the pole removal and installation.

This video introduces employees to the hazards associated with electricity in the workplace. Discusses the different ways to approach energized vs.de-energized equipment, as well as the lock out/tag out procedure for electricalparts or circuits.

Focuses on the awareness, knowledge, and attitude necessary to recognize, evaluate, and control electrical hazards in the workplace and at home. This video is segmented into four parts and should be viewed prior to presenting to an audience.

Safe working practices and installation of Chance Line ties. Illustrates installations and removals of line ties by hand, rubber gloves and hot line tools.

Classroom lecture by Randy Fellhoelter who was involved in a near death accident.
