The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) is the leading authority on workplace electrical safety. Electricity and electrical products play fundamental roles in how we do business each day. However, if not used or maintained appropriately, they can pose serious risks. The good news is that following a few basic steps can prevent most on-the-job electrocutions and electrical injuries.
ESFI recognizes that each work environment presents different electrical hazards. However, whether you work in an office, on a job site, or in a manufacturing setting, we provide the resources to keep you and your colleagues safe.
Counterfeits Kill!
No longer does the word ‘counterfeit’ apply only to watches, handbags, shoes or pirated movies. In today’s world economy, every business is vulnerable to counterfeiting and the electrical industry is no exception.
Counterfeit electrical products of every kind are making their way into homes, office buildings, manufacturing plants and even electrical generation and transmission facilities. More and more, we are learning that counterfeit electrical products are not a looming threat - they are here with us now making headlines, destroying reputations, stealing profits and killing unsuspecting consumers.
