Temporary Power – Lighting
Steve Maurer, IME

If you've worked around any new construction or remodeling projects, you've used temporary lighting. You need to see adequately to get the job done properly. That's a given. When emergency repairs are performed, choosing the correct temporary light becomes crucial.

However, even though the lighting is temporary, it must be safe to use. And, yes, OSHA has regulations concerning the use of temporary lighting, right down to its construction.





Keeping Wiring Connections Liquidtight
Chuck Ross

Electrical connections are vulnerable places for wiring. The transitions between conduit and equipment boxes need to address whatever risks the surrounding environment presents – including water, oil and corrosive chemicals – to maintain the integrity of internal wiring connections and reduce the possibility of short circuits and other electrical hazards. Liquidtight connectors address these challenges, in materials to suit any application’s needs.





Temporary Power – Take it Seriously
Steve Maurer, IME

No matter what the industry, temporary power is usually necessary. In any industry where changes, modifications, or new construction is required, temporary electrical power is used to get the job done.

However, temporary doesn’t mean that regulatory requirements go out the window.
