Continuing education & development for electrical safety professionals

Electrical safety professionals are not born as electrical safety professionals. We learn, grow, and develop the knowledge and skills to be effective in our field. A number of means are available to us to learn and develop. These include conferences, seminars, workshops, training courses, and self directed study. This paper will examine the stages of development for an electrical safety professional, how this relates to the hazards present in the workplace, what options are available for growing and developing as electrical safety professionals, and how continuing education enables us to improve our ability to make a positive contribution and impact in our field.
