The IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS) Electrical Safety Workshop (ESW) is dedicated to changing the electrical safety culture. The 2017 ESW will be held in Reno, Nevada, USA, January 31 to February 3, 2017, at the Peppermill Hotel. Mark your calendar now to save those dates.

The ESW is sponsored by the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Committee (ESC). The scope of the ESC is treatment for all matters within the scope of the IAS in which the emphasis or dominant factor specifically relates to occupational hazards of electrical energy. Topics include, but are not limited to: hazard phenomena, inherently safer design, work practices, hazard mitigation and electrical safety management. The ESC has created subcommittees to help fulfil their mission.

The ESC will hold their annual meeting on January 30, 2017, at 1pm at the Peppermill hotel. The ESC subcommittees will meet after the ESC meeting. Please plan to attend so you can help with further the work of the ESC.
