Electrical contractor safety manual: what it should contain
An electrical contractor safety manual is the written health and safety program for electrical installation, service and maintenance work. Beyond the core program elements it must control the hazards of the trade: lockout and hazardous energy, work on or near energised equipment, arc flash, temporary power, overhead power lines and limits of approach, ladders and lifts, and power tools. Our Electrical manual is written for each of 9 provinces and territories, carries 62 to 68 safe work practices, costs $499 CAD and downloads instantly.

Questions
Is the electrical manual written for my province?
Yes. Each edition is built on the health and safety legislation of its province or territory, including the limits of approach for overhead power lines where the province sets them.
Can I buy just the electrical safe work practices?
Yes. Every safe work practice is also sold on its own for $9. The manual is the better value if you need more than a handful.
