@robmcl @ABDanielleSmith You are paying for the $13,000,000,000 Notley did not need to spend!

@ChahalGeorge You should consult the AESO they employ some P.Eng. Electrical Engineers and they can tell you why? You live in Calgary, for about 6 months of the year the sun doesn’t shine a lot and it snows! Over building solar will increase costs and cause brown outs! Common sense!

The key is a compliant Electrical Safety Program that defines policies, practices and processes and generic procedural requirements that the training is applied against. With the ESP the employer completes a work task based risk assessment, training is o…https://t.co/agRi4ccJjY

Implementing the requirements of NFPA 70E, CSA Z462 or other electrical safe work Standards/regulatory requirements globally needs to include establishing an ELECTRICAL WORK ZONE. Generally this practice/policy has not historically been implemented.

You may not think this is not important, but jamming all of your arc flash & shock PPE into an undersized storage bag is a problem. This Oberon arc flash & shock PPE storage bag is oversized, tall and has a plastic base to protect from dirt, water etc.…https://t.co/CNPeWd5N79

Is this a quality label, good engineering practices? Separately is this a compliant equipment label for the Qualified Person? Does IEEE 1584, NFPA 70E or CSA Z462 define an "Energy Level" or did the power system software suggest this in the "Arc Flash R…https://t.co/QiGzt9LtTS
