Electric Pro Academy - Real Skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
At Electric Pro Academy, we’d like safety to be about keeping you safe, not protecting a corporation’s reputation. While there are lots of good and true resources regarding safety, we think we can boil it down to just 10 memorable rules. This list is not OSHA approved, but is hopefully a digestible resource to have in the back of your mind while on the job site.

This list was compiled by our resident master electrician and life-long tradesman Joel Walsman. Its emphasis is to preserve the creative art of the trades while minimizing the potentially destructive consequences of tool misuse, human error, and personal carelessness. We hope it allows you to enjoy working with your hands for many years.
