Working in confined spaces during the pandemic adds a new dimension of risk to a high-stakes activity. These workers already face possible exposure to toxic substances, shock and electrocution, explosions, asphyxiation, and other hazards.
Section 34 – Signs and Outline Lighting, as outlined in Rule 34-000 Scope, is a supplementary or amendatory section of the code and applies to incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, high-voltage luminous discharge (cold-cathode or neon) tubes, high-intensity discharge lamps and other light-emitting sources such as LEDs.
When troubleshooting electrical issues its important to recognize electrical shock is a result of current (not voltage, although the amount of voltage is a factor) and that it takes a fairly low amount of current to result in injury.
When you think of test and measurement tools, you are most likely not thinking about thermal imaging. You might first think of traditional tools like non-contact voltage detectors, multi meters, clamp meters and videoscopes.

Take this opportunity to test your knowledge of the Canadian Electrical Code – Part 1. Last week we published questions about motors and generators. You’ll find the answers in EIN articles written by our code experts — mainly Bill Burr and Terry Becker — and of course in your own best practices.
Although there are different codes and standards for electrical systems around the world, it’s probably no surprise that electricians and maintenance techs from Canada to Australia and Pakistan to the Philippines share many of the same experiences and learn the same lessons.

Heliospectra AB, a world leader in intelligent lighting technology for greenhouse and controlled plant growth environments, announces the release of a new guide with focus on energy-savings, incentives, and rebates. The free guides provide a detailed overview of the type of rebates available by province and the payback one can expect in 2021.
A lighting programming and control narrative is a document that is essential to coordinate the design/construction process with a fully realized final architectural product. It defines how lighting will integrate into the space and ultimately how humans will interact with that same space.
The total value of building permits issued in February broke the $10 billion mark for the first time, as a jump in the non-residential sector more than offset the decline in the residential sector.
I stared at the back of the white office door, the one I would have to pass through again, soon in fact. But I didn’t want to, didn’t feel like I could.
