Where Industrial Electricians Work: 2013-2015

Currently hydrogen production applications represent a small but growing market. As a hazardous location hydrogen plants require products designed to a more robust safety standard compared to similar applications like methane and petrochemical.
Amid all the talk about how to reduce CO2 emissions and limit climate change, renewable energy sources such as wind and solar often take centre stage…
So, Who are You Supporting? Feedback from Electricity Human Resource Canada (EHRC) research into the lack of diversity in the electricity industry has shed interesting light on the challenges and successes associated with the attraction, recruitment and retention of women in the sector. With the expected exodus of much of the workforce to retirement, and less than 5% of women working in the trades (and only 25% industry wide), engaging this under-represented group is a priority.
For the average person it is difficult to imagine having to live with limited access to energy. Most people don’t think twice when they turn on the lights or a computer, but there are countless communities in Canada and around the world that experience energy inequality.
This graph shows years of experience for lighting designers by percentage. Of those surveyed, only 24% have more than 10 years of experience.
