As Americans, we enjoy the open road. There’s something about feeling the vibration of the road under the tires and at our feet. There’s also the power and control of being able to stop, go or turn forward.
One day on the road, at 55 mph or so, I began to wonder what each driver in my front view was thinking, what their next move was, and what the movements of the cars in front of them at the same distance were. In traffic school, teachers teach you to “look ahead and beyond.”
If you stop to think about it, a one-way road is like a current running through a wire or bus bar. There is always forward movement, but there will always be change – a decision made to go here or there. Like the view of the road ahead, think of all the many decisions, good and bad, that have been made on the wire strip or bus over the years on the way to the stream’s destination. Repairs, new electrical professionals, new safety teams, new machinery, new procedures, and maybe, just maybe, along this current stream over time, a problem develops, or is created, a pothole if you will. So many roads, so many decisions.
Will this error or problem affect you? Maybe there are no possibilities. Chances are that when you jump in your car to go home today, you won’t get into an accident. But what if the driver in front of you, or the one in front of him, gets into an accident?
Electrical contractors often face a similar challenge on the job. Working for a host employer on equipment that is not properly classified with an unknown maintenance record is a challenge. If everyone in this factory is counting on you to work on this never-before-seen equipment and every minute that passes is costing them a fortune, it’s stressful. For all these reasons, many electrical professionals have decided to standardize their arc flash equipment to CAT 4 to provide protection across multiple dynamic environments. Enespro has made this possible with their industry-leading premium AirLite™ 40 CAL range. Arc-rated AirLite fabric is among the lightest and most flexible systems on the market. This helps electrical professionals stay calm and relaxed, so they can keep their eyes and minds occupied with the work ahead of them. Remember, there are many ways and many decisions. Before that driver in front of you, or the one in front of them, causes you to get into an accident, we encourage you to make the decision to move forward. Experience the newly paved open road that leads to the USA made arc PPE brand everyone is talking about, Enespro.
