Improving Electrical Safety Through Better Training & Planning w/ Mike Murphy

Описание: "I've done this a million times, you know, well, 1,000,001 is the one that that bites you."

In this episode of the Electrical Safety Podcast, host Jon Travis sits down with Mike Murphy, a Master Electrician, IBEW Local 26 member, and training leader at Rosendin to explore how better training, planning, and communication can dramatically improve electrical safety in the field.

Mike shares how Rosendin scaled its training program during rapid growth, why leadership development is essential for foremen and general foremen, and how hands‑on simulations, “just‑in‑time” training, and peer‑to‑peer communication are helping them transform safety culture.
